Summary

This book comprises a selection of review papers and original research from leading scientists with interests as diverse as the psychology of music perception and inner-ear biology. Rather than attempting a complete coverage of the vast field of hearing research, the book probes the subject with a series of in-depth papers that deal with the most exciting developments in each discipline. The result is a multidisciplinary sketch of the field that should act as both a useful reference and a stimulating basis for discussion among research workers and advanced students in the fields of hearing biophysics and physiology.
