PSYC 607ANeural Basis of Audition

Catalog

Neural Basis of Audition Audition is the gateway to the uniquely human capacities of speech and music. This course will introduce the fundamentals of auditory cognitive neuroscience, from neural encoding of sound through high-level processing and representation of speech and music. Topics will include functional organization of the auditory pathway, auditory cortex plasticity, and development of speech sound representations. This course emphasizes modern approaches in human neuroscience to explore the functional organization of the auditory processes underlying speech, sounds, and music. Pre-requisite: Non-matriculated graduate students must have permission of instructor.
