This part of the paper deals with the neurophysiological background of speech analysis and hearing of music. Single vowel- and consonant-detector cells could be clearly separated at the colliculus and geniculate level (Kallert, Keidel). Musical stimulation is decoded at three levels: hair cells, geniculate, and auditory cortex. Human cortical evoked potentials represent rhythm, consonance, and (as DC-shift) the emotional content of music. Marked harmonics, even of single hair-cell vibrations and in single units of medial geniculate in combination with clock-cell networks, are the physiological basis of "harmony" in music. Dissonant stimuli are detectable at the cortical level in man (Finkenzeller, Keidel).
