Product Description
From the dust jacket: Psychological experiments carried out over a period of nearly forty years have led Dr. Békésy to realize that inhibition interconnects, at least in one respect, the field of vision, hearing, skin sensations, taste, and smell. This book indeed almost creates the field of sensory inhibition as a significant one for study, bringing understanding to many observations that formerly seemed uncertain and unrelated and raising many problems still to be solved. It will find interested readers among psychologists, physiologists, physicists, engineers, otologists, ophthalmologists, and others. The material in this volume was originally presented as the first of the Herbert Sidney Langfeld Memorial Lectures at Princeton, in the fall of 1965, and is liberally illustrated with figures and diagrams clarifying the experiments and results. Dr. Georg von Békésy, who in 1961 received the Nobel Prize for "his discoveries concerning the physical mechanisms of stimulation within the cochlea," is now Professor of Sensory Sciences at the University of Hawaii.
