About the Book

Recent advances in anatomical, physiological, and psychophysical techniques and new formal analyses have made considerable advances in integrating the various aspects of hearing. Consisting of five sections, this volume begins with development and proceeds from the periphery to the highest psychological functions reflected in speech and guided behavior. In the first section the developing auditory system is considered; in Section Two cochlear neurobiology and current theories of cochlear mechanics are reviewed. Section Three deals with the response properties and electrical characteristics of auditory neurons. Section Four discusses the models of peripheral and central factors in intensity perception, auditory masking, and spectral shape discrimination. The final section examines auditory neuroethology and speech processing.

Table of Contents:
Part 1 The developing auditory system: organization and development of the avian brain stem auditory system; modulation of cell adhesion molecules during induction and differentiation of the auditory placode; stimulus coding in the developing auditory system; experience shapes sound localization and auditory unit properties during development in the barn owl. Part 2: The cochlea and auditory nerve: cochlear neurobiology - some key experiments and concepts of the past two decades; cochlear macromechanics; psychophysical aspects of auditory intensity coding; encoding of sound intensity by auditory neurons. Part 3 Neurons, projections, and representations: response properties of cochlear nucleus neurons in relationship to physiological mechanisms; electrical characteristics of cells and neuronal circuitry in the cochlear nuclei studied with intracellular recordings from brain slices; coding of temporal patterns in the central auditory nervous system; frequency resolution, spectral filtering, and integration on the neuronal level; neural mechanisms underlying interaural time sensitivity to tones and noise; auditory mechanisms underlying a neural code for space in the cat's superior colliculus; organization of the cat's auditory thalamus; dynamic modulation of the auditory system by associative learning. Part 4 Psychophysics: timing, masking, and lateralization: temporal mechanisms in auditory stimulus coding; peripheral and central factors in intensity perception; dynamic aspects of auditory masking; auditory profile analysis: some experiments on spectral shape discrimination; pitch perception and the segregation and integration of auditory entities; onset-coding in lateralization: its form, site, and function. Part 5 Neuroethology, audition, and speech: auditory neuroethology and speech processing: complex sound processing by combination-sensitive neurons; neurophysiological and anatomical substrates of sound localization in the owl; representation of speech in the auditory periphery; specialized perceiving systems for speech and other biologically significant sounds.
