Series Statement:
Handbook of perception and cognition (2nd ed.)
Content:
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.Key Features* Covers both physiological and perceptual aspects of hearing* Authoritative reviews by experts in the field* Comprehensive up-to-date coverage* An integrated work with e
