I remember that "cymascope" experiment that used a dolphin's sound as input. Turned out the water surface had an image (after lots of noise deblurring) of a human the dolphin just seen. This means the organ that decodes sound is a simple membrane with water. How dolphins encode images into sound is a separate question.
