The physicists first pump up certain atoms in the glass with a two - and - half -
microsecond sound pulse of carefully chosen intensity and frequency.

«Making sense of
sound is one of the most computationally complex tasks we ask our brains to do, because we process information in
microseconds,» said Kraus, the Hugh Knowles Professor of Communication Sciences.
In 1979, Kemp found that a few
microseconds after
sound enters a healthy ear, the same
sound — amplified up to 10 times — can be detected emanating from the ear.
The brain wave signals corresponding to the syllable
sounds showed a clear pattern tracking the
sound waves, which the researchers recorded down to the
microsecond.
This
sounds elementary but if you're on a racetrack, you need to be able to glance down and see the readout in a
microsecond.
But, 1) it should not be addressed with malice, which it sometimes
sounds like, and 2) particular care of the transients need to be a factor: good board design can make a CPU hum, but if transients are not considered the wrong change can blow up a CPU in a
microsecond.
