 fince the early 1990s, there has been a re-birth of studies that test the neural correlates of auditory cognition with a unique emphasis on the use of awake, behaving animals as models. Continuing today, how and where in the brain neural correlates of auditory cognition are formed is an intensive and active area of research.  Importantly, our understanding of the role that the cortex plays in hearing has the potential to impact the next generation of cochlear- and brainstem-auditory implants and consequently help those with hearing impairments. This volume brings together this exciting literature on the neural correlates of auditory cognition. Auditory Cognition: The Integration of Psychophysics with Neurophysiology Yale E.

Liu   About the Editors: Yale Cohen is Associate Professor of Otorhinolaryngology: Head and Neck Surgery and Neuroscience at The University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.  Arthur N. Popper is Professor in the Department of Biology and Co-Director of the Center for Comparative and Evolutionary Biology of Hearing at the University of Maryland, College Park. Richard R. Fay is Distinguished Research Professor of Psychology at Loyola University Chicago. About the Series: The Springer Handbook of Auditory Research presents a series of synthetic reviews of fundamental topics dealing with auditory systems. Each volume is independent and authoritative; taken as a set, this series is the definitive resource in the field.  .
