Talk:Electrical tuning

request for checking out
I did research for this article, but it could probably stand a good looking over by someone more familiar with the issue to make sure I haven't gotten anything a little skewed. Thanks, delldot | talk 02:26, 1 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Electrical tuning is also used by us and other animals with long a cochlea, according to a dutch textbook by Dijkgraaf. The long cochlea is there for the high frequencies, but the low frequencies can be discerned by electrical tuning and there is some overlap at middle frequencies. Will take a look at it, to get some conformation sources in english articles.

mistake?
In the following sentence (last of first paragraph), isn't it electrical tuning that provides an alternative mechanism w.r.t. the mechanical tuning that was being discussed?

Since the reptilian ear lacks a long cochlea, mechanical tuning provides an alternative mechanism for perceiving differences in sound.
