The Human Auditory Cortex: 43 (Springer Handbook of Auditory Research, 43) - Tapa dura

De la contraportada

The auditory cortex of humans must process a remarkable amount of complex and dynamically changing acoustic information. The Human Auditory Cortex brings the Springer Handbook of Auditory Research to its first detailed examination of auditory cortex, with emphasis on the techniques available as well as some major conceptual challenges.Introduction: Why Human Auditory Cortex? David Poeppel and Tobias OverathPart I The MethodsArchitecture, Connectivity, and Transmitter Receptors of Human Auditory Cortex Stephanie Clarke and Patricia MorosanInvasive Research Methods Matthew A.

Tobias Overath is Research Associate at The Ear Institute at University College London. Arthur N. Popper is Professor in the Department of Biology and Co-Director of the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing at the University of Maryland, College Park. Richard R. Fay is Distinguished Research Professor of Psychology at Loyola University Chicago. About the Series: The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of synthetic reviews of fundamental topics dealing with auditory systems. Each volume is independent and authoritative; taken as a set, this series is the definitive resource in the field.
