Infos

Hearing - From Sensory Processing to Perception presents the papers of the latest 'International Symposium on Hearing,' a meeting held every three years focusing on psychoacoustics and the research of the physiological mechanisms underlying auditory perception. The proceedings provide an up-to-date report on the status of the field of research into hearing and auditory functions.
