Wednesday 18 September - 2:30pm
Leslie Smith will give a talk in Cottrell 2A13 on “Why hearing is complicated- and why creating effective hearing aids is so difficult.”
Why hearing is a difficult problem, and the solutions that humans (and animals) take.
The mechanics of transforming sound into a neural code
What can and does go wrong, and why hearing aids solve aspects of the problem.
And he will add a coda: pitch and sound: an auditory illusion.
