Preface

The current book presents the written contributions to a kind of “World summit on hearing research”, i.e., the “International Symposium on Hearing” (ISH 2006) which was held in Cloppenburg, a small northern German town close to Oldenburg and Bremen in August 2006.

The International Symposium on Hearing has been held approximately every three years in Europe since 1969. The participants come from groups mostly in Europe and in the USA that focus on a wide range of topics in research on auditory system function. It is a hallmark of this truly interdisciplinary meeting to bring together well known researchers specializing on psychophysics, physiology and models of hearing. This connection stimulates the discussion on the physiological mechanisms underlying perception and provides the basis for a better understanding of auditory function. Modelling approaches complement the experimental studies and serve as a framework for interpreting the results and developing new experimental paradigms.

The main themes of the current meeting are at the focus of interest in hearing research. The physiological representation of the temporal and the spectral structure of stimuli on different levels of the auditory system is a pervasive topic of the studies presented at the meeting, helping us to understand the perception of modulation patterns, pitch and signal intensity. Our knowledge of the physiological mechanisms of binaural processing in mammals is developing further, providing an improved basis for understanding spatial hearing. How the different stimulus features are integrated into auditory scene analysis and which physiological mechanisms allow the formation of auditory objects is another unifying theme linking researchers focussing on modeling, physiology and psychophysics. Finally, the topics of speech perception and the limitations of auditory perception resulting from hearing disorders were discussed on the basis of our understanding of the physiology of the auditory system.

The chapters of this volume with the proceedings of the “14th International Symposium on Hearing” provide an up-to-date status of the field of hearing research. We hope that it will stimulate further discussion and will also enable newcomers to the field to access the newest developments in our understanding of auditory system function and auditory perception.

The organizers of the ISH 2006 and editors of this book are affiliated with the Universität Oldenburg where one of the largest European centres for

hearing research is located. Institutional support for the ISH 2006 was therefore provided by:

●Kompetenzzentrum HörTech (i.e., national centre of competence for hearing aid system technology, located in the “house of hearing” in Oldenburg)

●Sonderforschungsbereich/Transregio “Das aktive Gehör” (Oldenburg/ Magdeburg, i.e., collaborative research center “the active auditory system” supported by DFG)

●Internationales Graduiertenkolleg (international research training site) “neurosensory science, systems, and applications” (Oldenburg/Groningen, supported by DFG and NWO)

Further financial support was kindly provided by Widex A/S and Siemens Audiologische Technik (SAT). The organizers wish to thank these institutions and all individuals that made the ISH 2006 an unforgettable event.
