Our ears together offer a stereophonic reception, whilst providing distance and spatial perception and therefore our place in the world. However, we tend to downgrade the ear’s function to almost a reflex and only become aware of its significant role when the eyes cannot perceive the information provided. Still, this gives the opportunity to the sound designer to work with the audience’s subconscious. Sonnenschein (2001) gives an example to understand the function and structure of the ear.…

Neurological Factors Affecting Movement Voluntary human movement is regulated and controlled by complex interactions within our central and peripheral nervous systems. The three major types of sensory input come from the visual (eyes), vestibular (inner ear), and somatic (body) sensory systems. The somatic sensory receptors found in muscles, tendons, ligaments, joint capsules, and skin are collectively known as proprioceptors and they gather information about body position and the direction and…

[12] The input comes from both eyes and projects information to the visual cortex in the occipital lobe. [2] The medial geniculate nucleus is also found in the thalamus. It is responsible for auditory pathways. It receives auditory signals from both ears and projects them to the primary auditory cortex. Having a tumorous mass around this structure could allow this relay of information to be disrupted and would explain the non-existent or aggressive response of the dog to its owner.…
