Fri, 05/26/2017 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
What does the brain know about sound when you are born deaf? There are well-established devices such as cochlear implants to give people the sensation of sound when their inner ear isn’t working. These devices work best when they are applied early. But what abilities are we born with, and how do we understand what these children are hearing, before they have language, or much of a behavioral system.

Lauren (Sculthorpe) Petle (Starkey) - Auditory system learns rules without awareness
Date:
Fri, 05/19/2017 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
There are lots of processes involved in understanding the auditory world around us. Certainly one of the most important is learning the relationship between sounds. Some of this learning is certainly driven by attention and a desire to learn and understand about auditory signals. But are there also components of learning about the auditory world that work at an unconscious level? I’m guessing there are, but how does one separate out the conscious from the unconscious processes of learning about our auditory world? Can we design experiments that show a difference?
