Losing AP and Sachs, and ASA

[Kevin Austin <kevin.austin@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

On page 123 of Musicophilia, Oliver Sachs writes of his patient Frank  
V who loses his AP after the rupture of an aneurysm. There is also  
earlier in the book the description of a person who loses much of the  
ability to integrate sound, being left with high levels of streaming  
(only). I am quite surprised that he appears not to have any  
references to ASA, auditory scene analysis or Bregman. In a previous  
book Sachs describes 'side-blindedness', a condition where some things  
simply aren't "seen" when they are in certain locations. I understand  
that Musicophilia is a laypersons' introduction, but feel there is a  
referential laguna which would provide much context were it to be in  
this book.
