― Eric R. Kandel , Principles of Neural Science

2 " Hermann von Helmholtz was the first to appreciate that the basilar membrane’s operation is essentially the inverse of a piano’s. The piano synthesizes a complex sound by combining the pure tones produced by numerous vibrating strings; the cochlea deconstructs a complex sound by isolating each component tone at a discrete segment of the basilar membrane.
