D) transformation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Transduction is the process by which sensory organs convert physical stimuli into neural signals that can be interpreted by the brain. In the context of hearing, the ear converts the physical vibrations of sound waves into neural codes that the brain can understand. Transmission refers to the process of sending the neural signals from one part of the nervous system to another, and translation and transformation do not accurately describe the specific process of converting sound waves to neural codes.
