When people hear a sound, they can tell its location. For example, after hearing a whistle blown, a person could tell you whethe

r the sound originated from his or her right or left side. Likewise, a person could tell you whether the sound came from above or below him or her. How can humans do this? Explain how humans are able to locate where a sound is coming from.

Answer:

Intensity and Timing differences between the two ears-->(Horizontal dimension) for determining that sound comes from left or right

Different frequency profile-->(Vertical dimension) for determining that sound comes from  up or down

Explanation:

The human brain has tons of functions and abilities. Our brain and ear could locate the source of the sound with the extreme precision, it happens within 2 degrees of space.  

I) First of all about the determining left or right side. There are 2 cues: 1) Each sound have the amplitude which is vary from the low to high loudness levels so our left and right ears will get different loudness from that sound and will be able to locate easily. 2) Timing difference is very important because the sound which is processing can go earlier to one ear than another so initial acceptor ear will be prove for the localization of the sound.

II) Now about determining up or down side. Our brain has third cue about this point. Our brain has different frequency profile on our head and this is caused by the external ear (pinna) and size of our head. The interaction of pinna and our size of head will let to determine, so pinna could collect the sound and moreover, it can change the frequency profile of the sound then it will be clear that certain frequencies will differ certainly from some others which are attenuated or doubtful.

Answer:

The correct answer is ''controlled individual muscle movements; store a repertoire of movement categories stored a repertoire of movement categories.''

Early research on the motor cortex suggested that it controlled individual muscle movements; however, more recent work suggests that the motor cortex may actually store a repertoire of movement categories.

Explanation:

Voluntary movements are consciously initiated in the motor cortex and association cortex, commanding the appropriate groups of motor neurons in the spinal cord to perform the desired activity. The motor cortex is divided into six layers separated by neurons, each fulfilling different functions. Also, it is subdivided into three areas (the primary motor cortex, the premotor cortex and the supplementary motor area) which have specific functions for performing motor activities. Electrophysiological recordings have shown that the movements of individual muscles are correlated with the activity of broad regions of the primary motor cortex. Similarly, stimulation of narrow regions of the primary motor cortex produces movements that require the activity of numerous muscles. The premotor cortex, located in front of the motor cortex, produces coordinated movements that comprise sequences of movements of an individual muscle or combined movements of a number of different muscles at the same time. It is in this area where a large part of the knowledge is stored to control learned skillful movements, that is, according to previous experiences, it is in charge of storing movements to end up organizing the final activity of the primary motor zone, automating and harmonizing voluntary movements .

Sholpan [36]

Answer: A) bottom-up processing

Explanation: Bottom-up processing simply refers to the processing of sensory data or information as it's being received be the sensory organs.

For instance, when an image is being show to an individual, the eyes sees it and the brain picks up the signals to bring together all the pieces of information. Information like; it has stripes, has four legs, has a tail, has a face, has long canine teeth and then the image is recognised that

Oh it's a Tiger.

Berdine developed cataract in both eyes preventing her to even see the face of her mother in the first place before the brain could bring together the different imagery information and recognise her mother's face, so Berdine is clearly deficient in bottom-up processing of sensory information.
