  • Insect Hearing

    Edited by Gerald S. Pollack, Andrew C. Mason, Arthur N Popper, Richard R Fay ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Insect Hearing provides a broadly based view of the functions, mechanisms, and evolution of hearing in insects. With a single exception, the chapters focus on problems of hearing and their solutions, rather than being focused on particular taxa. The exception, hearing in Drosophila, is justified because, due to its ever growing toolbox of genetic and optical techniques, Drosophila is rapidly ... Read more

  • Sensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics

    by Jozef J. Zwislocki ...
    Sensory Neuroscience: Four Laws of Psychophysics organizes part of psychophysics -- a science of quantitative relationships between human sensations and the stimuli that evoke them. Although psychophysics belongs to sensory neuroscience, and is coupled to neurophysiology, it has also branched out to various specialized disciplines, including the disciplines of vision and hearing, ophthalmology, ...

    Edited by Sandra Gordon-Salant, Robert D. Frisina, Arthur N. Popper, Richard R. Fay ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    This volume brings together noted scientists who study presbycusis from the perspective of complementary disciplines, for a review of the current state of knowledge on the aging auditory system. Age-related hearing loss (ARHL) is one of the top three most common chronic health conditions affecting individuals aged 65 years and older. The high prevalence of age-related hearing loss compels ... Read more

  • Loudness

    Edited by Mary Florentine, Arthur N. Popper, Richard R. Fay ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Loudness is the primary psychological correlate of intensity. When the intensity of a sound increases, loudness increases. However, there exists no simple one-to-one correspondence between loudness and intensity; loudness can be changed by modifying the frequency or the duration of the sound, or by adding background sounds. Loudness also changes with the listener’s cognitive state. Loudness ... Read more

  • Neural Correlates of Auditory Cognition

    Edited by Richard R. Fay, Arthur N. Popper, Yale E. Cohen ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Hearing and communication present a variety of challenges to the nervous system. To be heard and understood, a communication signal must be transformed from a time-varying acoustic waveform to a perceptual representation to an even more abstract representation that integrates memory stores with semantic/referential information. Finally, this complex, abstract representation must be interpreted to ... Read more

  • Evolution of the Vertebrate Ear

    Evidence from the Fossil Record

    Edited by Jennifer A. Clack, Richard R Fay, Arthur N. Popper ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    The evolution of vertebrate hearing is of considerable interest in the hearing community. However, there has never been a volume that has focused on the paleontological evidence for the evolution of hearing and the ear, especially from the perspective of some of the leading paleontologists and evolutionary biologists in the world. Thus, this volume is totally unique, and takes a perspective that ... Read more

    Edited by Laurence O. Trussell, Arthur N. Popper, Richard R. Fay ...
    Series series Biomedical and Life Sciences (R0)
    Synaptic Mechanisms in the Auditory System will provide a basic reference for students, clinicians, and researchers on how synapses in the auditory system function to encode acoustic signals. These mechanisms are the groundwork for all auditory processing, and understanding them requires knowledge of the microphysiology of synapses, cellular biophysics, receptor pharmacology, and an appreciation ...
