The neural encoding of sound is the representation of auditory sensation and perception in the nervous system.^[1] The complexities of contemporary neuroscience are continually redefined. Thus what is known of the auditory system has been continually changing. The encoding of sounds includes the transduction of sound waves into electrical impulses (action potentials) along auditory nerve fibers, and further processing in the brain.
