"How hearing works and how the brain processes sounds entering the ear to provide the listener with useful information are of great interest to psychologists, cognitive scientists, and musicians. However, while a number of books have concentrated on individual aspects of this field, known as psychoacoustics, there has been no comprehensive introductory coverage of the multiple topics encompassed under the term.

Music, Cognition, and Computerized Sound is the first book to provide that coverage, and it does so via a unique and useful approach."--BOOK JACKET.
