Question

Which statement about frequency coding is NOT correct? e a person understands speech better with a cochlear implant that has 22 rather than 12 stimulating electrodes the basilar membrane is wide and flexible at the apical end and signals low sound frequencies sound at a specific frequency causes a maximum displacement at a specific location on the basilar membrane e auditory nerve fibers are tuned to respond at the lowest sound stimulus intensity to a tone having a specific "best" frequency ency the basilar membrane is uniform along its length and is not involved in discriminating different sound frequencies Question 20 1 pt During takeoff in an airliner, the pilot's visual sensation of forward motion (optic flow) is signated by neurons in which cortical area? primary motor cortex MT(middle temporal cortex) MST (middle superior temporal cortex) inferotemporal cortex (fusiform face areal primary visual cortex

Answer 1

Answer:

1.The incorrect information provided here is the last one. The basilar membrane is not uniform along it's length and is also very much responsible for discriminating different sound frequencies. So the answer is (e).

2. The middle superior temporal cortex(MST) and middle temporal cortex(MT) both are the areas where signalling for optical flow occurs in a pilot while take off, but the most important one is MST. So the correct answer will be (c).

Give a thumbs up if you like the answer. Thank you.
