Sound Rceptors

Under appropriate conditions my dear, sound receptors, Youʼve got sound receptors in your ear and they are beautiful. Weʼre not going to talk about them at any length, but thereʼs little flappy, these little spiky things going along in your ear and they can translate vibrational energy coming from your ear, hurting your eardrum, being translated into a vibration into the fluid in your ear into a physical motion of these little receptors there into an electrical motion, into an electrical signal that goes into your ear. So, all of that, all of thatʼs pretty impressive stuff. Weʼre not going to talk about the details of it, but I invite some of you who want to learn more about this, particularly MIT students, I think to find receptors really quite remarkable kinds of devices.
