Overview -- Auditory Periphery: From Pinna to Auditory Nerve -- The Cochlear Nucleus: The New Frontier -- Models of the Superior Olivary Complex -- The Auditory Cortex: The Final Frontier -- Computational Models of Inferior Colliculus Neurons -- Computational Modeling of Sensorineural Hearing Loss -- Physiological Models of Auditory Scene Analysis -- Use of Auditory Models in Developing Coding Strategies for Cochlear Implants -- Silicon Models of the Auditory Pathway
Summary
This volume, "Computational Models of the Auditory", will have as its unifying theme a systems approach where the focus will be on studies whose intent is to contribute to the big picture of hearing. In effect, the work covered in this volume, and the volume itself, will build a global model of audition. The chapters will, rather than focusing on details of individual components of the hearing system, address the concerns of readers and researchers who want to know how the system works as a whole
