This course is an introduction to research on auditory cognition. We will cover all relevant topics from basic psychoacoustic and neuroscientific methods to selective hearing in complex auditory scenes like cocktail parties. After completing the course, students should have gained an overview of the current state of research as well as hot topics in the field. They will have familiarized themselves with literature on auditory cognition and trained their presentation and discussion skills.[CONTENTS]
The course will cover five broad topics of auditory cognition (units 3 to 12). The detailed schedule is as follows:
1. unit: Introduction and organization
2. unit: Excursion to the Lab of the Acoustics Research Institute of the Austrian Academy of Sciences (https://www.oeaw.ac.at/en/ari) at Wohllebengasse 12-14, A-1040 Vienna (close to Karlsplatz)
3./4. unit: Pitch and music perception
5./6. unit: Space perception
7./8. unit: Bottom-up selective hearing
9./10. unit: Top-down selective hearing
11./12. unit: Auditory dysfunction and prostheses
13./14. unit: Extra topics based on students’ interests[METHODS]
Each of the five topics will be covered in two units. In the first unit, an introductory lecture on the topic will be given and the students are encouraged to ask questions and engage in discussions. In the second unit, students will present papers and moderate the discussion following their presentations. Other students will be selected to also read the papers in detail and write a short review statement. They will act as expert questioners to push the discussion. Finally, there will be a short quiz on the topic at the start of the next unit.[FORMAT]
We plan to hold the course on-site following the announced hygiene measures. If it is necessary, we will switch to a hybrid or fully online format.[UPDATE 20.11.2021]
Since Austria will be in full lockdown starting Monday, 22.11., we will switch to fully online teaching via Zoom for the duration of the lockdown.
