Translated and updated from the original French, "Audition" offers a broad, detailed, and up-to-date treatment of the physiology of hearing. It includes a substantial section on auditory psychophysics as well as brief introductions to physical acoustics, musical acoustics, anatomy, and clinical topics. The book's style and its more than 180 figures aim to make it accessible not only to upper-level undergraduate and graduate students in basic and clinical neurosciences but also to students in professional training programmes such as otolaryngology or audiology. "Audition" is divided into three major sections. The first concerns the psychophysics of hearing and covers nonlinear phenomena, perception of complex tones, and musical scales. The second covers the anatomy and physiology of the ear, beginning with data from earlier and more recent studies of auditory-nerve fibres, proceeding to cochlear mechanics, and ending with current findings regarding cochlear transduction. The third deals with the central nervous system, detailing aspects of the auditory pathway and including a useful section on the relationship between auditory psychophysics and current neurophysiological research.
"Audition" concludes with appendixes on deafness and evoked potentials and a comprehensive bibliography.
Part 1 The physiological psychology of hearing: the basic characteristics of audible stimuli; oscillatory stimuli; auditory thresholds; suprathreshold hearing of pure tones; binural effects; tonal sensations, musical sounds and musical scales. Part 2 The auditory receptor system: morphology of the receptor system - the outer, middle and inner ear; physiology of the receptor organ - sound transmission - the outer and middle ear, bone conduction, sound reception and transduction in the cochlea - auditory signals in primary neurons, bioelectric phenomena in the cochlea, cochlear mechanics, cochlear transduction. Part 3 The auditory central nervous system - anatomy and function: the cochlear nuclei; the superior olivary complex; the nuclei of the lateral lemniscus; the inferior colliculus; the superior colliculus and acoustic space; the medial geniculate body; the auditory areas of the cortex; centrifugal activity in the auditory patherways; effects of central lesions on auditory perception; psychophysics of hearing and neurophysiological studies. Appendices: notes on deafness with a peripheral origin - types of deafness, clinical diagnosis of deafness, further comments on hearing deficits; auditory evoked potentials in human subjects.
