Anotace

Psychoacoustics - Facts and Models represents a comprehensive collection of data describing the processing of sound by the human hearing system. It includes quantitative relations between sound stimuli and auditory perception in terms of hearing sensations. In addition, quantitative psychoacoustic models of hearing sensations are given. The monograph contains a unique collection of data on the human hearing system as a receiver of acoustic information as well as many examples of the practical application of the results of basic research in fields such as audiology, noise evaluation, and sound engineering. Many helpful hints for the solution of practical problems will be of particular benefit to engineers, and the book as a whole should serve as an important benchmark in the field of psychoacoustics. The treatment given in this second edition has been thoroughly updated with recent results. SOME PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION: "[The book] contains the most comprehensive collection of psychoacoustic facts and models that I know.... for advanced students, researchers and experts, it is an essential source of psychoacoustic knowledge . . . I do recommend it." -Applied Acoustics "This volume is no ordinary textbook, but a major landmark . . . The publication of this volume must be regarded as a major event, and the book should find a place on the shelves of every acoustician with a concern for the perception of sounds." -Journal of Sound and Vibration "...It can be sincerely stated that this book contributes most significantly to the distribution of expert knowledge on the auditory system to science, technology, and practice. It will without doubt have a long-lasting effect on the standing and future evolution of this scientific domain." -Acustica ELEKTOR ELEKTRONICS "Research scientists, acoustics engineers and students of physics and acoustics alike will welcome the wealth of data and the many examples of practical applications of basic research results this book contains on the human hearing system as a receiver of acoustics information." AUSTRALIAN & NEW ZEALAND PHYSICIST "In this text Zwicker and Fastl have managed to present a mine of information on the general area of psychoacoustics in a way which is informal enough to be almost an introduction to the subject. Thus whereas the book is intended primarily for research scientists, and engineers, the uninitiated readers as well can gain much useful information and often quite painlessly just by casual browsing. This is due mainly to the simple way in which the authors summarize individual topics in clear and concise introductory paragraphs and also to the essentially nonmathematical nature of the subject itself...I found this book to be very readable and user friendly." FROM THE REVIEWS: PHYSICS TODAY "Readers who do not have the first edition of PSYCHOACOUSTICS: FACTS AND MODELS would do well to get the second."
