Audition / Pierre Buser and Michel Imbert ; translated by R.H. Kay. - Cambridge, Mass. : MIT Press, c1992. - x, 394 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
Translation of: Audition. "A Bradford book."
Includes bibliographical references (p. [361]-384) and index.
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.
