Synopsis

The localization of sound is a fundamental issue for all auditory systems and therefore a subject important to a wide range of auditory research. Although localization has been studied extensively, a comprehensive volume incorporating work from many specialties is needed. This volume reviews the study of the detection of sound sources in mammals as well as a variety of other organisms. Bringing together subjects touched upon in other SHAR volumes, this single book synthesizes and updates the subject of localization.

From the Back Cover

The localization of sound is a fundamental requirement for all auditory
systems and has motivated much research.  This comprehensive volume
brings together topics from many specialties that have been touched upon
in other volumes of the Springer Handbook of Auditory Research.
Reviewing sound source localization capacities and mechanisms in a
variety of organisms, this volume provides a synthesis and update on the
topic that is both original and timely. The authors treat sound source
localization in a comparative context with an emphasis on modeling and
computational mechanisms.
