How do the theories of frequency and place in hearing relate to Fourier's analysis in mathematics?
Place theory contradicting Fourier's analysis as it stresses the importance of specific locations within the ear for processing sound frequencies.
Only the frequency theory aligns with Fourier's analysis by emphasizing wave patterns of sounds.
Both theories, like Fourier's analysis, propose that complex sounds can be broken down into simpler components.
Neither theory uses mathematical models for understanding sound perception.
