The study of how the human brain perceives sound. Findings relating to which sounds are and are not heard by the human ear have been used in the formulation of various audio compression techniques, including MP3.
a relatively young science, although many prominent scientists wrote about and studied it, like Platon, later Shumann, Carl Stumpf and the others
the study of how sounds affect the human brain. During the years, psychoacoustic research has resulted in an improved understanding of human hearing, such as the way the brain processes sounds picked up by the left and right ears and translates subtle differences between the two into cues that indicate directionality. in filters, the ratio of a bandpass or band-reject filter's center frequency to its bandwidth. Thus, assuming a constant center frequency, Q is inversely proportional to bandwidth (i.e., higher Q values indicate a narrower bandwidth). For this reason, the term is often used to denote bandwidth. See parametric equalizer, resonance.
The branch of acoustics that relates the physical dimensions of sound with the perceived dimensions - the relationships between what we measure and what we hear.

The study of the relationship between human hearing perception and stimulus; in other words, the study of how we hear.
the science of how ears perceive the loudness, pitch, and quality of sound, which is used to develop codecs that compress sound data and make our ears think that nothing is missing, among other things.
An area of psychology that studies the structure and performance of human auditory perception.
study of what sounds the human ear can detect. MP3 exploits the limits of human psychoacoustics to get smaller file size with limited detectable quality loss.
The scientific study of the perception of sound.
Psychoacoustics is the study of subjective human perception of sounds. Alternatively it can be described as the study of the psychological correlates of the physical parameters of acoustics.
