No external word, no external sound, ever reaches the brain. There is no external sound. The only sounds ever heard in any brain are cognitions originating and existing only in the brain - cog mitions of internal relations in the brain produced by correlative ex ternal relations through energy transmitted to the brain through the ear and auditory nerve fibers. The ear and the auditory nerve fibers reaching from it to the brain are the counterpart, mechanically and functionally, of the telephone and the wire reaching from Denver to San Francisco.
