Abstract
The way the acoustic sound wave, entering the ear, is processed until it reaches the neocortex in the primary auditory cortex is indeed very complex and not yet understood in full. Basically, the waves travel through the outer and middle ear, enter the inner ear through the tympani, and is transferred into electrical neural spikes in the inner ear, the cochlear. Then it goes through several neural nuclei, regions of neural cells, like the cochlear nucleus right behind the inner ear, the trapezoid nucleus, the medial geniculate, and several others.
