Reasons: Practical

• Should use good object oriented programming techniques
  • The Ear
• While initial development is harder, subsequent development is easier
  • Easier to add new features
    • A tiny bit of background
    • Lateral inhibition effects
    • Receptive fields and gratings
  • Easier to use in new situations
    • The cochlea
    • The ear
    • The hair cell and auditory transduction
    • Traveling waves and basilar membrane
    • Frequency theory
• Can find limits in theoretical descriptions
  • Melzak and Wall's Gate Control Theory
