tronic devices and music systems sensing sound are all the results
of such efforts. Despite all this technology and the thousands of en-
gineers and experts who have been working on this endeavor, no

sound has yet been obtained that has the same sharpness and clar-
ity as the sound perceived by the ear.
Think of the highest-quality, highest-fidelity systems produced
by the largest company in the music industry. Even with these de-
vices, when sound is recorded, some of it is lost; or notice how
when you turn on a hi-fi you always hear a slight interference or
static even before the music starts. However, the sounds that are

recording apparatus has been as sensitive and successful in per-
ceiving sensory data as are the eye and the ear. However, as far as
seeing and hearing are concerned, a far greater truth lies beyond
all this.

The stimulations coming from a person's eyes, ears, and nose

physiology, and biochemistry books, you can find many details
about how this image forms in the brain. However, you will never
