highlighting our tendency to perceive a whole that exceeds the sum of its

individual parts.

carry higher frequency and result in a higher pitch. This concept is similar to
how we perceive different colors based on the wavelength of light.
The amplitude of sound waves, on the other hand, refers to the height of
the waves and determines our perception of loudness. Greater amplitude
corresponds to a louder sound, while smaller amplitude results in a quieter
sound.
The human ear is a remarkable organ designed to capture these sound
waves and convert them into neural signals that our brain can interpret. It
consists of several key structures, each with a specific function:

1. Outer Ear: This is the visible part of the ear, including the pinna (the

fleshy part) and the ear canal. Its role is to collect sound waves and
funnel them towards the eardrum.

2. Middle Ear: Beyond the eardrum lies the middle ear, which contains

three small bones called the ossicles (the malleus, incus, and stapes).
These bones amplify the sound vibrations and transmit them to the
inner ear.

3. Inner Ear: The inner ear houses the cochlea, a spiral-shaped structure

filled with fluid. The cochlea contains thousands of tiny hair cells that
are essential for hearing. These hair cells are responsible for
 converting sound vibrations into electrical signals that can be
processed by the brain.

 Basilar Membrane: Inside the cochlea, the basilar membrane

runs along its length. Different parts of the basilar membrane

respond to different frequencies of sound, allowing us to
perceive a wide range of pitches.

Organ of Corti: This specialized structure within the cochlea contains the
hair cells. When sound vibrations cause the fluid in the cochlea to move,
the hair cells bend, triggering electrical
