Abstract
The technical committee on Psychological and Physiological acoustics (P&P) encompasses a wide and multidisciplinary range of topics. It is concerned with questions of what happens to sound once it enters the auditory system, and how sound is processed to facilitate communication and navigation. Topics include the biomechanics of the middle and inner ear; the neuroscience of the auditory nerve, brainstem, and cortex; and behavioral studies of auditory perception and cognition. Within these topics, research covers both normal function and effects of hearing disorders, as well as applied questions related to hearing aids, cochlear implants, and audio technology. The scope of P&P overlaps heavily with that of several other technical committees in ASA, especially Architectural Acoustics, Animal Bioacoustics, Noise, and Speech Communication. This presentation will provide an overview and some examples of currently active areas of investigation.
