Now available in a sixth edition, An Introduction to the Psychology of Hearing is the leading
textbook in the field of auditory perception, also known as psychoacoustics. The textbooks …

This paper provides an overview of changes in the perception of sound that result from
cochlear damage. It starts with a brief introduction to the physiology of the cochlea …

A well established method for estimating the shape of the auditory filter is based on the
measurement of the threshold of a sinusoidal signal in a notched-noise masker, as a …

Hearing impairment is often associated with damage to the hair cells in the cochlea.
Sometimes there may be complete loss of function of inner hair cells (IHCs) over a certain …

Since the first edition was published in 1998, considerable advances have been made in the
fields of pitch perception and speech perception. In addition, there have been major …

Colored targets pop out of displays under conditions in which the standard red-green, yellow-
blue and black-white mechanisms cannot directly mediate detection. Experimental evidence …

A frequency-modulation term has been added to the gammatone auditory filter to produce a
filter with an asymmetric amplitude spectrum. When the degree of asymmetry in this …

WE hear periodic sounds, or tones, by means of parallel auditory filters, each tuned to a
band of temporal frequency1, and we see periodic patterns, or gratings, by means of parallel …

Modulation thresholds for sinusoidally amplitude-modulated broadband noise were
obtained from normal-hearing and sensorineural hearing-impaired listeners as a function of …

The auditory filter may be considered as a weighting function representing frequency
selectivity at a particular centre frequency. Its shape can be derived using the power …
