[NewCandle] Nerve impulse through sound?

[Keith Nagel]

While the work is _very_ controversial, it's interesting to me that
nerve fibres are seemingly lossless conductors. Perhaps
this has to do with the fact that the impulse is not,
as in a wire, due to an axial potential difference across the
length of the fibre, but rather a radial one.
