Signal Processing in Auditory Neuroscience

Professor Yoichi Ando was awarded the 1995 Institute Honor by the American Institute of Architects. His 30 years of work developing and applying new theories of concert hall acoustics have helped redefine the way music is heard. A scientist, author and educator, his achievements are a benefit to both the world of architecture and the world of music. He was Associate Dean at the Graduate School of Science and Technology, Kobe University, Japan. 1975 Received PhD from Waseda UniversityAlexander-von-Humboldt Fellow (1975.7-1977.5) at Drittes physikalisches Institut, Universitat Gottingen2001 Established Journal of Temporal Design http://www.jtdweb.org/2002 Received Dottore AD Honorem“ (Laurea Honoris Causa), University of Ferrara2003 Professor Emeritus, Graduate School Kobe University2013 Member, Bologna Academy of ScienceAuthor: Concert Hall Acoustics, Springer (1985), Architectural Acoustics, Springer (1998), Auditory Visual Sensations, Springer (2009), Brain-Grounded Theory of Temporal and Spatial Design, and 10 other books.
