TRANSDUCTION

A process embodied in an input-output device for converting or coding without memory one type of signal, motion, wave or sequence of characters into another. E.g., a loudspeaker produces sound waves from electrical oscillations, the human eye converts patterns of light into nerve impulses. Such devices are called transducers and are describable by a transformation or function. (Krippendorff)
