Talk:Ear

The description of the cochlea is wrong. It should discuss the basilar membrane and its vibration properties. The hair cells are not the frequency separators in the auditory system; they only transduce the frequency separated information output from the basilar mambrane. I'll fix it at some point; I'm trying to get so neuro people to write up a basilar membrane article.

I think also the description of the outer ear should be improved. In particular its role in sound elevation localisation. Furthermore the vestibular system does not just consist of the semicircular canals but has also two linear accelerometers, the saccula and the utricle.
