Yaqing Su on Neural Coding of Pitch Cues in the Auditory Midbrain
Date:
Fri, 02/16/2018 - 10:30am - 12:00pm
Location:
CCRMA Seminar Room
Event Type:
Hearing Seminar 
Pitch is critical to auditory perception. It’s an important cue for separating sounds in a cocktail party. It binds a speech signal together so you hear speech instead of a bunch of chirps. Yet, the exact mechanism that our brain uses to hear the pitch of a signal is not known. Yaqing Su will be talking about evidence she has found that suggests that pitch is perceived with a combination of measures, effectively sidestepping the argument about place vs. time. This will be fun.

Romain Michon's Dissertation Defense: The Hybrid Mobile Instrument — Recoupling the Haptic, the Physical, and the Virtual

Location:
CCRMA Stage
Event Type:
Other 
For those who are not able to attend in person, a live stream link will be available soon.
Abstract:
The decoupling of the "controller" from the "synthesizer" is one of the defining characteristic of digital musical instruments (DMIs). While this allows for much flexibility, this "demutualization" (as Perry Cook termed) sometimes results in a loss of intimacy between the performer and the instrument.
