Question
Chapter 29, Problem 8TYK
Summary Introduction
To describe: The adaption of an individual when the individual first sit down to read in a coffee shop, the surroundings seem very loud. Yet after a few minutes reading you realize you hardly notice the noise at all.
Introduction: Sensory receptors are sensitive against the stimulus they are receiving from the environment. Sensory receptors respond to the change in stimulus, but if the stimulus is present in the surrounding at a constant rate they generate the adaption in responsiveness according to stimulus.

Many people believe that blind people have supernatural hearing. How would brain plasticity explain how enhanced hearing might result from greater reliance on hearing or from just using auditory information more effectively?
A breast-feeding woman leaves her baby at home and goes shopping. There, she hears another woman’s baby crying and notices her blouse becoming wet with a little exuded milk. Explain the physiological link between hearing that sound and the ejection of milk.
Let us say if someone electrically stimulated the auditory receptors in your ear, what would you perceive?
