Translation of "encode" into Icelandic

brain encode pitch and loudness? • Pitch: The brain uses both place coding and temporal coding to encode pitch. • Place coding: Different areas of the basilar membrane are sensitive to different frequencies, with higher frequencies activating areas near the base and lower frequencies near the apex. This spatial activation pattern helps the brain determine pitch. • Temporal Coding: At lower frequencies, neurons in the auditory nerve phase-lock to the frequency of the sound wave, firing in sync with its cycles, which helps convey frequency information • Loudness: Loudness is primarily encoded by the rate of firing in auditory neurons. More intense sounds cause a greater number of hair cells to activate and lead to more frequent neural firing, signaling louder sounds to the brain.
