Summary

1. Binaural and Spatial Hearing in Real and Virtual Environments is intended to provide the reader with a background in the major areas of spatial hearing research while presenting the current issues that guide contemporary research efforts and constrain the design of spatial auditory displays.
2. Thirty-four chapters, written by the foremost international scientists and engineers in the field review the basic physical, physiological, and psychological data that form the foundation of the field, as well as current theories and applications of spatial hearing technology.
