Minimum requirements and assessment criteria
Acquiring methods and techniques for studying animal sound communication
Examination topics
The course includes lectures (including a small exam), a practical part (students work together in groups of two), student presentations with time for discussion, and a final project report.
Introductory lectures aim at giving an overview of the subject of acoustic communication followed by special lectures on the fundamentals of acoustics, signal analysis, animal sound production, and communicative behavior. A small exam reviews the content of the lectures.Practicals will be conducted at external institutions (e.g. Vienna Zoo and other animal keeping facilities) Practicals aim at giving the students hands-on experience of sound recording and sound analysis. Praat and MatLab will be used throughout the course but prior experience is not required.
