Description
The 9th International Symposium on Hearing brought together a selection of leading hearing scientists working with different approaches from cell biology to psychology. This book inlcudes stimulating presentations by these distinguished researchers in this dynamic field. The material is organized such that related topics are grouped together in an interdisciplinary fashion under ten main headings covering a wide spectrum of scientific approaches to the study of auditory physiology and perception. The four main tutorial sessions cover major advances in cochlear mechanics, hair cell physiology, complex sounds perception and psychophysiology, providing up-to-date and extensive reviews of these areas.
