The Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life
Springer 2012; US$ 219.99The Second International Conference on the Effects of Noise on Aquatic Life will take place in Ireland August 15-20, 2010. The main emphasis of the conference will be on defining the current state of knowledge. However, we will also assess progress in the three years since the First conference. The Second conference will place strong emphasis on recent... more...
Sound Source Localization
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 159.99The localization of sound is a fundamental requirement for all auditory systems and has motivated much research. Reviewing sound source localization capacities and mechanisms in a variety of organisms, this volume provides a synthesis on the topic, sound source localization, with an emphasis on modeling and computational mechanisms. more...
Auditory Trauma, Protection and Repair
Springer 2008; US$ 119.99Presents developments in auditory research and their potential applications in clinical settings. This book addresses the major dynamics of peripheral auditory trauma, including the underlying mechanisms, consequences to the central nervous system, protective interventions, and the possibility of restoring cochlear morphology and function. more...
Human Auditory Development
Springer 2011; US$ 109.99This volume will provide an important contemporary reference on hearing development and will lead to new ways of thinking about hearing in children and about remediation for children with hearing loss. Much of the material in this volume will document that a different model of hearing is needed to understand hearing during development. The book is... more...
Development of the Inner Ear
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 119.99Describing the embryonic development of the vertebrate inner ear, this book contains six chapters that span almost all aspects of inner ear development, from the induction of the otic placode through cellular morphogenesis, to the onset of auditory function. Each chapter examines a particular aspect of development of the inner ear. more...
Vertebrate Hair Cells
Springer-Verlag New York Inc 2006; US$ 129.99Provides an overview of the mechanosensory receptor cells of the vertebrate inner ear. Each chapter is written by experimentalists active in exploring a particular set of questions in an aspect of hair cell function, including development, transduction, and synaptic transmission. more...
Active Processes and Otoacoustic Emissions in Hearing
Springer 2007; US$ 129.99Presents a review of the biological basis of these otoacoustic emissions. This book provides a basis for understanding how and why otoacoustic emissions testing works using a basic understanding of general hearing processes. It is suitable for clinicians, particularly otolaryngologists and audiologists. more...
Fish Bioacoustics
Springer 2008; US$ 119.99The study of how fish make and respond to sound has important implications for communication, physiology, behavior, and commercial techniques. This volume explores how fish detect and process signals. It demonstrates how bioacoustics is used to understand and affect fish behavior. more...
Hair Cell Regeneration, Repair, and Protection
Springer 2008; US$ 99.99Not male pattern baldness, but the loss of sensory hair, is a very serious topic. Sensory hair cells convert sound and motion into our sense of hearing, movement, and head position. In mammals, the loss of hair cells is irreversible. Or is it? Hair cells in other vertebrates are capable of regenerating and recovering partial or complete function. This... more...
