About this title

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.
