This course will cover auditory sensation and perception. Topics covered will include: Psychophysical methods; The perception of loudness; Frequency selectivity, masking and the critical band; psychophysical estimates of cochlear compression; Temporal processing in the auditory system; Pitch Perception; Space Perception; Auditory pattern and object perception. It will also include practical applications such as sound quality. The major emphasis will be on normal hearing individuals, but research with hearing impaired listeners (and those with cochlear implants) will also be covered. The exact topics will depend on the interests of the students.
