Document Summary

This lecture is about six non- visual senses. Vs. amplitude and frequency different way of measuring (le t) > filed with water cochlear- were transduction takes place in the inner ear. Temporal code: get pushed based on compression based on sound, that push causes them to fire at a higher rate, when pushed back it inhibits their firing. -> sound of a persons voice uses population code population code: Conjunctive activation that tells us whos voice that is neurons cant fire that fast 20 000 hz soo theirs a solution . We have a nasal cavity empty tavern, carries air, passes through hairs which capture bits of smell as it passes through. We hae a lot of fdiff receptors. So we can pick up lots of smells: 320- 380 receptors population coding. We can combine these receptors as well. Pheromones:social signals that convey info to parents and infants, family members, social signals, sexual behaviour (how they are most well understood)
