Overview
Unique combination of architectural acoustics, psychophysics, neurophysiology, and auditory modeling
First scientific proposal of commonalities between analogous auditory and visual sensations
Comprehensive neuronal signal processing model of spatial hearing
Rational theory of the architectural acoustical design of performance spaces based on psychoacoustics of hearing and listener preferences
General theory of listener-preferences grounded in both psychoacoustic and neurophysiological observations
Observable neurophysiological correlates of sound qualities and listener preferences

About this book
Reviews
From the reviews:
“The book has two parts with sixteen chapters. … The book is well structured and chapters are held short in length just to point out the most relevant information needed. … At the end of the book, a list of abbreviations is presented, which is very useful for the reader, but most advantageous, is that for all abbreviations, a chapter in the book is referred. … It provides equations and summaries of concepts for experts working in the field of concern.” (Reinhard O. Neubauer, International Journal of Acoustics and Vibration, Vol. 16 (3), 2011)
“This is well-written and illustrated, unusual, and important book. … In addition to a good index and definitions of terms, excellent references are given. … This book presents a good start and much important progress.” (David Lloyd (ben Yaacov Yehuda) Klepper, Noise Control Engineering Journal, Vol. 60 (2), March-April, 2012)

About the author
Yoichi Ando is an expert in the areas of concert hall acoustics architectural acoustics, brain activities, and environmental design. He has been awarded the AIA Institute Honor, American Institute of Architects in 1995: For 30 years of work developing and applying new theories of concert hall acoustics have helped the way music is heard. A scientist, author, and educator, his achievements are a benefit to both the world of architecture and the world of music. He has also been awarded the "Laurea Honoris Causa" (Dottore ad Honorem) by University of Ferrara, Italy on 12 June 2002, and serves as Editor-In-Chief, of the Journal of Temporal Design in Architecture and the Environment.
Peter Cariani works in the fields of auditory neurophysiology; temporal coding of pitch, timbre, and consonance; neural networks for temporal processing; music perception and cognition.
