Transduction

This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.

State

Transduction is the conversion of physical energy into the electrochemical signals the nervous system uses.

Show

Pressure waves in the ear bend hair cells, which convert that motion into neural firing.

Watch for

Every sense performs transduction, and each performs it differently. The output format is what they share.
