Auditory Perception of Sound Sources

Every time we listen--to speech, to music, to footsteps approaching orretreating--our auditory perception is the result of a long chain of diverse and intricate processesthat unfold within the source

This volume covers the higher-level auditory processes that are part of animal perception. The chapters describe how humans and other animals perceive the sounds that they receive from the many sound

How We Hear introduces readers to the basic components of sound and the human auditory system. Concise, clear, and supported by audio clips and activities which deepen students' understanding, it outl

Sound Source Localization in the Human Auditory System provides a comprehensive account of the full action-perception cycle underlying spatial hearing. It highlights the interesting properties of the

Plomp's Aspects of Tone Sensation--published 25 years ago--dealt with the psychophysics of simple and complex tones. Since that time, auditory perception as a field of study has undergone a radical me

This revised and updated third edition describes the nature of sound, how sound is analyzed by the auditory system, and the rules and principles governing our interpretation of auditory input. It covers many topics including sound and the auditory system, locating sound sources, the basis for loudness judgments, perception of acoustic sequences, perceptual restoration of obliterated sounds, speech production and perception, and the relation of hearing to perception in general. Whilst keeping the consistent style of the previous editions, many new features have been added, including suggestions for further reading at the end of each chapter, a section on functional imaging of the brain, expanded information on pitch and infrapitch, and additional coverage of speech processing. Advanced undergraduate and graduate students interested in auditory perception, behavioral sciences, psychology, neurobiology, architectural acoustics, and the hearing sciences will find this book an excellent gui
