Connectionists: New book on modern methods of analysis in Auditory Cortex

[Didier Depireux]

Dear colleagues,

if you are interested in recently developed techniques to extract and
analyze auditory cortical data, consider the book
"Handbook of Modern Techniques in Auditory Cortex",
D.A.Depireux & M.Elhilali, eds.

It can be acquired via Amazon at
http://www.amazon.com/Handbook-Modern-Techniques-Auditory-Cortex/dp/162808894X
or directly from the publisher at
https://www.novapublishers.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=45166

A host of new broadband methods have recently been developed in the study
and modelling of the auditory pathway. These methods have allowed us to
better understand how complex sounds are encoded along the auditory pathway
in a noise-robust fashion, and the resulting cortical models have been used
in a variety of problems, such speech recognition, speaker identification
and noise reduction with great success. These techniques were developed and
refined over the last 20 years, and as a result, the published literature
offers a scattered, sometimes seemingly contradictory, account. This book
is the first to present, in a single volume, the different broadband
methods, their different philosophies, their relative advantages and
disadvantages, and a methodology that will help the would-be-practitioner
get started, navigate the literature, and chose the method most appropriate
to her needs.

Thank you,

                            Didier Depireux & Mounya Elhilali
