My knowledge in this area is limited but I still want to try to understand.
The signal pattern in neurons - trains of action potentials - is similar to the Fourier transform.
Common sine signal action potentials are not that difficult to understand in relation to the Fourier transform. But what about sound transients?
1 How does the Gibbs phenomenon manifest itself in an auditory nerve? Probably the electrochemical gradient near the auditory nerve cell membrane causes problems. But how?
2 Unlike sine sounds, 2 Clicksounds occupy a unique position with an extremely short time between the perceptions of two separate click sounds (< 2 ms). Can someone explain this chemically and mathematically?
