Zusatztext "The Auditory Cortex: A Synthesis of Human and Animal Research is a remarkable meeting of (no less than 70) experts concerned with how the brain processes sounds....provides novel ideas on the place of the auditory cortex in a bigger scheme of cortical and perceptual processing. A plethora of contemporaryquestions is present throughout thetext....The Auditory Cortexmay be most useful to graduate students and investigators with a fair awareness of issues in the field of auditory research! but it also is appropriate as an up-to-date reference text on the auditory cortex."-PsycCRITIQUES"...this book gives a really in-depth presentation! by worldwide experts in this domain! about what is known (and unknown) on the topic. Many important questions are addressed...many interesting issued are raised..."-Journal of Deaf Studies and Deaf Education Informationen zum Autor Peter Heil, Henning Scheich, Eike Budinger, Reinhard Konig Klappentext This book is about the highest level of hearing in humans and other mammals. It brings together studies of both humans and animals thereby giving a more profound understanding of the concepts! approaches! techniques and knowledge of the auditory cortex. Zusammenfassung Understanding human hearing is not only a scientific challenge but also a problem of growing social and political importance, given the steadily increasing numbers of people with hearing deficits or even deafness. This book is about the highest level of Inhaltsverzeichnis Contents: Preface. Part I: Auditory Cortical Fields and Their Functions. E. Budinger!
