Scientific investigations of a descriptive nature involve in
creasingly refined definitions of a problem. An idea is trans
formed after initial experiments into a working hypothesis that has
a number of testable consequences. Rarely in the neurosci ences do
such tests completely falsify the hypothesis; more commonly they
lead to a modified, more general hypothesis. One could argue that
in order to define a scientific problem, one must first understand
it. This monograph is an attempt to draw together knowledge and
understanding from various disciplines, collected from studies
carried out over more than 80 yr, of the functions of the auditory
midbrain. This part of the brain has been of continuing interest to
me, from my days as a postgraduate student in the mid-1960s to the
present time, because so many ideas about central auditory
organization and function have developed from studies of this
region. This book is dedicated to Jerzy E. Rose, Professor Emer
itus of Neurophysiology at the University of Wisconsin. His
intellect and clarity of mind have been responsible for many of the
modern ideas of auditory neurophysiology. These ideas have been
incorporated into a series of classic papers on audi tory
neuroscience that will be important for a long time to corne. In
addition, Jerzy Rose has been an inspired teacher whose precepts of
brain structure and function have been a major influence on his
students, including the author."
