The localization of sound is a fundamental requirement for all auditory systems and has motivated much research. This comprehensive volume brings together topics from many specialties that have been touched upon in other volumes of the Springer Handbook of Auditory Research. Reviewing sound source localization capacities and mechanisms in a variety of organisms, this volume provides a synthesis and update on the topic that is both original and timely. The authors treat sound source localization in a comparative context with an emphasis on modeling and computational mechanisms. About the Editors: Arthur N. Popper is Professor in the Department of Biology and Co-Director of the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing at the University of Maryland, College Park. Richard R. Fay is Director of the Parmly Hearing Institute and Professor of Psychology at Loyola University of Chicago. .

An integrated overview of hearing and the interplay of physical, biological, and psychological processes underlying it.Every time we listen--to speech, to music, to footsteps approaching or retreating--our auditory perception is the result of a long chain of diverse and intricate processes that unfold within the source of the sound itself, in the air, in our ears, and, most of all, in our brains. Hearing is an "everyday miracle" that, despite its staggering complexity, seems effortless. This book offers an integrated account of hearing in terms of the neural processes that take place in different parts of the auditory system.Because hearing results from the interplay of so many physical, biological, and psychological processes, the book pulls together the different aspects of hearing--including acoustics, the mathematics of signal processing, the physiology of the ear and central auditory pathways, psychoacoustics, speech, and music--into a coherent whole.

Les mystères de l'ouïe sont ici disséqués et analysés et devraient intéresser tous les spécialistes de notre appareil auditif. Comment entendons-nous ? La cochlée (ou limaçon) n'est-elle qu'un banal microphone ou s'agit-il d'un analyseur des sons qui nous agressent ? ou procède-t-elle différemment ? Par exemple sous la forme d'un convertisseur du signal acoustique en impulsions nerveuses sans décomposition préalable des sons ? Comment le message sonore est-il capté et codé avant d'être transmis au cerveau ? En quoi le numérique peut-il interférer dans ce mystérieux processus ? Jusqu'à ce jour a prévalué l'idée que l'oreille effectuait une analyse des sons complexes, comme sur un piano, mais ce postulat rencontre tellement d'objections qu'il est indispensable de concevoir un autre modèle. Les structures de l'oreille et la physiologie des fibres nerveuses sont pourtant particulièrement bien adaptées à l'analyse et à la transmission des informations sonores par l'intervention d'un échantillonnage des formes imprimées par les sons Les théories modernes de l'information et de la communication viennent fort heureusement à notre secours et éclairent d'un jour nouveau les multiples énigmes relevées dans les domaines de la psycho-acoustique, de la physiologie de l'audition et évidemment des troubles auditifs. Comment, par exemple, interpréter les dégâts provoqués par un traumatisme sonore, la survenue obsédante d'acouphènes, ou les difficultés rencontrées par la prothèse auditive ? Cet ouvrage, par son originalité, ne manquera certainement pas d'intéresser les professionnels de l'audition : acousticiens, O.R.L., audioprothésistes, orthophonistes, etc. et de près ou de loin, tous ceux qui se sentent concernés par la perception du monde sonore.
