And how are images of sound stored in memory and recalled? This study answers these questions from a broad persective. The text explores the nature of sound; the workings of the inner ear; neural mechanisms of hearing; our perception of complex sound patterns, pitch and timbre; and communication through speech.

Art and Science in the Choral Rehearsal explores the idea that choral conductors who better understand how the brain learns, and...
