Summary Introduction

To explain:

The interpretation by brain of series of pressure waves in cochlea that caused a vibration of the basilar membrane that moves gradually from the apex toward the base.

Introduction:

The vibrating objects create series of pressure waves in the air surrounding us and this mechanical signal is transduced by ear into nerve impulse which is perceived as sound by the brain.
