Description
Hearing is a comprehensive, authoritative reference work covering both the physiological and perceptual aspects of hearing.
Intended for researchers and advanced students in the field of hearing, it reviews major areas of research in addition to new discoveries,
including active mechanisms in the cochlea, across-channel processes in auditory masking, and perceptual grouping processes.
Audience
Researchers, academics, and clinicians in hearing. Psychologists interested in perception, sensory physiologists, audiologists, and audio engineers.
