PREFACE
The present book contains the original papers and essential points of the
general discussion of a meeting organized in a series of tri-annual conferences,
initiated by Dr. R. Plomp with the meeting in Driebergen, The Netherlands, 1969.
These symposia have tried to bring to\ether people from extreme fields in auditory
research and to amalgamate their recent findings. This series of conferences has
proven to be most successful and has attracted much attention by scientists in
auditory research.
The organizers have tried to maintain the character of the meeting with em
phasis on discussion by precirculation of the full text of the papers and by re
stricting the number of active contributions. Unfortunately, this forced us to
reject a great number of submitted papers - in selection we attempted to compose
a fair survey of certain fields of auditory research but leave others untreated.
Because of the same reason the number of invited review papers had to be limited
to three. The reader may decide whether or not this selection was adequate. We
thank all those participants who attended the meeting inspite of the rejection of
their paper.
The authors have been responsible for text and typing of their manuscripts.
The editors have not attempted to standardize the spelling.
The general discussions were put down in concise form immediately after the
sessions and all the printed remarks have been approved by the speakers before
the end of the conference. Literature not quoted in the discussion can be found
in the preceding paper.
The editors wish to thank the sponsors of the meeting, the Deutsche For
schungsgemeinschaft (4850/15/82), the Hessische Kultusminister and the US Air
Force Office for Scientific Research (AFOSR-83-0130). Without this help the orga
nization of the meeting would not have been possible. The authors are thanked for
preparing their manuscripts according to the instructions; only a small number of
manuscripts had to be retyped by our secretaries. We sincerely thank Ms. Renata
Plotz and Ms. Mechthild Kaluza for reliably typing the discussions during the
meeting and later for the edition of the book. Thanks have also to be extended to
our technician Ms. Ursula Mtiller-Planitz, who did a marvelous job in collating
the camera-ready version of the manuscripts. Finally the editors thank the Sprin
ger-Verlag, in particular Dr. Czeschlik for their understanding, their conces
sions and the quick printing.
