Topic 3.5
What evidence discredits volley principle’s idea about perceiving mid-range frequency sounds?
Neurons often fire more randomly and out-of-sync than volley principle suggests.
Sounds in the mid-range frequencies can be detected without neurons firing in unison.
There is no physiological evidence supporting the existence of neural groups that work together as proposed by the volley principle.
Volley principle fails to explain why we can detect low-frequency sounds.
