  • This 7-minute video by Brandon Pletsch takes viewers on a step-by-step voyage through the inside of the ear, to the acoustic accompaniment of classical music. Pletsch, a former medical illustration student at the Medical College of Georgia, first built a physical ear model and mapped which frequency ranges hit which parts of the inner ear. He then created digital renderings of each part of the hearing pathway using several software packages. A narrator describes how the sound waves travel through each portion of the ear, and how hair cells translate the vibrations they induce into nerve impulses.

    It's so cool to think that while the music plays and the animation shows how we perceive it, the same things that occur in the animation occur in our ears at the same time.

    I'm in med school now and my professors use medical illustrations and videos very extensively to make concepts clearer. I can honestly say that this is the BEST one I've come across. The way the video makes the mechanism of the ear so lucid and easy to understand, while bolstering it with such exquisite viuals and (pardon the pun) acoustics, is just incredibly marvellous!

      Are we talking about evolution here or what?

    • @zarifsadiq829
      @zarifsadiq829 Před 8 lety +3

      CooperMan.inC Studios Yeah, I don't believe in blind evolution. Something as intricate as a worm , monkey or ourselves cannot be a product of chance, i.e. blind evolution. Evolution guided by an intelligent being however is plausible in my opinion.

    • @cooperman.incstudios4060
      @cooperman.incstudios4060 Před 8 lety +10

      Zarif Sadiq It's not blind, not chance, you just don't grasp the massive scale of it all, that's why it makes no sense to you. Absolutely not calling you an idiot here, any normal person can understand AS LONG AS they get enough info and do their research. I constantly look at both sides of the argument and their beliefs/theories even though I'm 100% certain, just to be fair and to know in detail what the other side is talking about in order to have counter arguments AND possibly, if something extremely convincing comes up, reconsider my position.

    • @zarifsadiq829
      @zarifsadiq829 Před 8 lety +3

      CooperMan.inC Studios Same here. If someone can answers my questions with I would have no issues accepting evolution as fact. Unfortunately as far as now I have been unable to get a satisfactory answer. As I've stated I have no problem with evolution as a progressive means in which we arise at the present state of life. My objection is that evolution can be the product of chance.
      My first problem is with people calling it the "theory of evolution". If we are familiar with the scientific method then we know for a hypothesis to even be considered a hypothesis it must be testable and the test must be repeatable. Since evolution does not happen on a human time scale it is not testable, thus does not meet the requirements of a hypothesis much less a theory. The best answer I have received is of some examples of adaptation. For example a certain virus that has mutated to become a slightly different virus. The problem here is its still a virus and the claim evolution makes is not one of adaptations but of a changing of kinds. That is one species turned into another.
      Another issue I have with evolution is that it defies the second law of thermodynamics, i.e. entropy. A single human genome has about 3.5 billion base pairs or nucleotides that are arranged in the exact sequence to produce you, me or whoever they code for. Matter does not organize itself, and if we understand basic statistics we would find this random strand of DNA simply falling together is statistically impossible, even when taking the size of the universe into consideration.

    • @cooperman.incstudios4060
      @cooperman.incstudios4060 Před 8 lety +2

      Zarif Sadiq There are counter arguments to the thermodynamics arguments by physicists and they know their stuff. But about the theory thing, any accepted hypothesis is called a theory. It's just science talk, a very confusing and in my opinion very stupid choice. Most important thing is natural selection and the fact that DNA tries to copy paste itself. It does it pretty well, but it makes "mistakes". Not necessarily bad results, just means that the copy is not a clone, it is a close approximation of the previous dna batch.So after millions of years we have species like us humans that have a varied population in appearance and size and strength throughout the planet. Because some of the mistakes stack up, so there are many different "bloodlines" carrying these characteristics with them. That's the result of millions of years of small mistakes and natural selection. Natural sellection is basically all about the fact that, in nature, if you are too weak you have higher chances of dying BEFORE you procreate, therefore weak characteristicstend to not be passed down very often, because if you had 2000 cubs of some sort, and 500 of them were considered weak in their environment, then 400 of those would die before they could procreate, therefore the next generation would have less of the weak ones. It's brutal, it's not nice, but through tht process, over BILLIONS of years of small changes and small changes, we have reached this point. Sorry for long comment.

    I've been a licensed hearing professional since 1994, and I've never seen such a clean and well rounded overview of the function of the hearing system. Just excellent.

    Wow! So fascinating. Showing the mechanics of the ear hearing music took this so far beyond simple illustrations. Thank your your creativity and the gift of this video!

    Oh! I took an entire course on this subject but you have beautifully illustrated it all here. My 13 year old loved this. I had tried to explain things to her via scratchings I did on the back of an envelope of the structures. Elegant and beautiful video. Thank you.
