      abstract = {This book explains neural function at the level of ion  channels and membrane excitability in neurons along the  ascending auditory pathway. Airborne sound information is  captured by the ears, transformed to neural electrical  signals, and then processed in the brain. Readers will find  full descriptions of these processes of signal transduction  and transformation. First, it is described how, at the  level of hair cells, the receptor cells in the cochlea, the  sound-evoked vibration is transduced to electrical signals  and transmitted to the auditory nerve fibers. In the second  section it is explained how the electrical activity of  these fibers is processed at the cochlear nucleus in order  to extract the temporal and level information of sound  separately and then transmitted to the third nucleus for  processing of the interaural differences, such as the  interaural time difference and the interaural level  difference. The third section summarizes the transformation  of auditory temporal information to the rate of neural  firing activity in the midbrain and the higher nuclei,  including the cortex, based on in vivo results. Finally,  emerging new technologies to investigate auditory signal  processing are reviewed and discussed.},
