Eye, Ear, and Brain

To understand color, we must first discuss the eye. And to understand the eye, we must first discuss the ear.Why? Because both the eye and the ear are remote sensing devices that give us information about our environment. There are many deep similarities between the two, and also some fundamental differences. These similarities and differences will help us come to a deeper understanding of both. Our focus here is the spatial, spectral, and temporal resolution of the information gained by the two senses.
