Contents:
Stimuli and Procedures -- Hearing Area -- Information Processing in the Auditory System -- Masking -- Pitch and Pitch Strength -- Critical Bands and Excitation -- Just-Noticeable Sound Changes -- Loudness -- Sharpness and Sensory Pleasantness -- Fluctuation Strength -- Roughness -- Subjective Duration -- Rhythm -- The Ear’s Own Nonlinear Distortion -- Binaural Hearing -- Examples of Application.
In: Springer eBooksSummary: Psychoacoustics – Facts and Models offers a unique, comprehensive summary of information describing the processing of sound by the human hearing system. It includes quantitative relations between sound stimuli and auditory perception in terms of hearing sensations, for which quantitative models are given, as well as an unequalled collection of data on the human hearing system as a receiver of acoustic information. In addition, many examples of the practical application of the results of basic research in fields such as noise control, audiology, or sound quality engineering are detailed. The third edition includes an additional chapter on audio-visual interactions and applications, plus more on applications throughout. Reviews of previous editions have characterized it as "an essential source of psychoacoustic knowledge," "a major landmark ," and a book that "without doubt will have a long-lasting effect on the standing and future evolution of this scientific domain."
