Abstract
- The area of psychological and physiological acoustics encompasses a wide and multidisciplinary range of topics. It is concerned with questions of what happens to sound once it enters the auditory system, and how sound is processed to facilitate communication and navigation. Topics include the biomechanics of the middle and inner ear; the neuroscience of the auditory nerve, brainstem, and cortex; and behavioral studies of auditory perception and cognition. This presentation will provide an overview of some of the many areas currently under investigation, ranging from basic questions about the neural representations of different sound features to clinical applications, such as the development and improvement of hearing aids, as well as cochlear, brainstem, and even midbrain implants that bypass the peripheral auditory system to provide some hearing to people with profound hearing loss.
