Alicia Zuckerman on emotion without audio

Hearing Seminar

An unusual angle this time: How do we convey emotion **without** audio? We're so used to the full range of words and emotion in our audio life. Yet there is a big difference between wow and WOW! Music is primarily conveying an audio message. We love audio.

But not everybody hears audio the same way. We at CCRMA have an amazing collection of experience about how to convey audio emotion. What can you do without the audio? What are you trying to convey and what would you like to convey to people who are hard of hearing? How might you do that?

Real-time sound synthesis for 2-D plates using FDTD methods

jos — Thu, 25 May 2023 18:03:49 +0000

Date:

Wed, 05/31/2023 - 5:30pm - 7:00pm

Location:

Classroom [Knoll 217]

Event Type:

Guest Colloquium

Abstract: This presentation discusses algorithms and implementation details of real-time sound synthesis for 2D plates. Firstly, a simple finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) scheme is introduced for linear 2D plates, accompanied by the acceleration strategy for its C/C++ implementation utilizing the CPU's single-instruction-multiple-data (SIMD) instructions. Subsequently, the computational bottlenecks of nonlinear plate simulation modeled by the von Karman equation, are addressed, along with corresponding accelerated numerical schemes employing fast linear system solutions and the invariant energy quadratization technique. Finally, the results are demonstrated through the real-time synthesis of a gong-like sound.

Prof. Daibhid O Maoileidigh on Making sense of the sensory hearing cells

malcolm — Tue, 28 Mar 2023 14:34:42 +0000

Event Type:

Hearing Seminar

How do we make sense of the auditory periphery? It's quite magical. The fastest moving cells in the body transduce nanometers of motion into electrical stimuli that our brain can turn into speech or music. Did I mention the feedback that lets us here over many, many orders of magnitude? To make matters more interesting it’s a dynamic system with plenty of feedback, ensuring that there are many problems to solve. And all of our auditory experiences start here. How does it work?

Who: Dáibhid Ó Maoiléidigh, Stanford Otolaryngology
What: Making Sense of the Sensory Hearing Cells
When: Friday May 26th at 10:30AM
Where: CCRMA Seminar Room (Top Floor at The Knoll)
Why It all starts at the cochlea and hair cells
