Which of the following best explains how we perceive very low-pitched sounds?

A) place theory
B) volley principle
C) frequency theory
D) dissociation theory

Volley Principle

A theory in neuroscience that suggests multiple neurons can collectively transmit a higher frequency of signals by firing in synchronization, especially relevant in the context of auditory processing.

Frequency Theory

A theory regarding how sounds are converted into electrical signals in the brain to interpret pitch by the rate of hair cell vibrations.

Place Theory

A theory in hearing that suggests different areas of the cochlea are activated by different frequencies of sound.
