Synopsis

The Auditory System in Sleep, Second Edition presents a view of a sensory system working in a different state, that of the sleeping brain. This updated edition contains new chapters on topics such as implanted deaf patients and sleep and tinnitus treatments. It is written for basic auditory system and sleep researchers, as well as practitioners and clinicians in the Auditory/Sensory Neurosciences and Sleep Medicine. As the auditory system is always “open”, thus receiving information from the environment and the body itself (conscious and unconscious data), the incoming sensory information may alter sleep and waking physiology, and conversely, the sleeping brain.

This book draws information from evoked potentials, fMRI, PET, SPECT, lesions, and more.

• Contains new chapters on topics such as implanted deaf patients and sleep and tinnitus treatments during sleep
• Written for researchers and clinical practitioners in the auditory sciences, sleep medicine and sensory neuroscience
