Comment/Description

This seminar explores the neurophysiological foundations of auditory perception and cognition in humans. Key topics include:
  • The structural and functional organization of the human auditory system: Understanding how the auditory system is structured and operates.
  • Neural representations of sound qualities: Examining how the brain encodes various aspects of sound, such as pitch, timbre, loudness, and direction
  • Auditory scene analysis: Investigating how the auditory system separates and processes sounds from different sources in the environment.
  • Auditory attention: Studying how we focus on specific sounds amidst background noise.
  • Speech processing: Analyzing how the brain comprehends and produces speech.
  • Plasticity of the auditory system: Exploring how the auditory system adapts and changes in response to experience and learning.

Additionally, the seminar will cover common methods used in auditory psychophysics and auditory cognitive neuroscience, providing hands-on insights into how research in this field is conducted.
