Introduction to Auditory Physiology. May serve as preparation for a Research Module in this area.

Upon successful completion of this course, students
• have profound knowledge on auditory sensory processing at several levels (including cochlear transduction mechanisms, central auditory processing)
• have basic knowledge of the large range of techniques used in auditory research
• are able to read and critically report to others on an original research paper in auditory neuroscience
• are able to research and review a specific topic in auditory neuroscience
