Abstract

Psychological and physiological acoustics concerns the investigation of the auditory system and its responses to sound in humans and other species. This encompasses perception and perceptual organization of simple and complex sounds, including speech; anatomy and function of the auditory pathways, including all physical and biological responses to auditory stimulation; hearing disorders, hearing loss, and auditory prostheses; vibrotactile and vestibular sensation, and the interaction of hearing with other sensory modalities; developmental, aging, learning, and plasticity effects in auditory function; and theories and models of auditory processes. This talk describes several current areas of research, including the benefits of having two ears, how intense noise can damage the auditory nerve, and how computational models of the auditory system can complement behavioral and physiological experiments to broaden our understanding of how the auditory system responds to sound.
