Two-day workshop: Spatial hearing from biophysics to behaviour

October 1, 2018 @ 12:00 am AEST

Title: Spatial hearing from biophysics to behaviour
Host: Professor David McAlpine
Date, time, location: Monday 8 October, 12:45pm to 5:15pm, Australian Hearing Hub, Level 1, Lecture Theatre
Tuesday 9 October, 9:30am to 5:00pm,  18 Wally’s Walk , MAZE Conference, Room A

This two-day workshop brings together research leaders in the field of binaural and spatial hearing—spanning expertise in human spatial listening, brain-imaging techniques for assessing binaural performance, animal physiology & neural modelling, and therapeutic interventions such as bilateral cochlear implantation—to discuss the state-of-the-art and the way forward if we are to understand how the brain generates a sense of auditory space, and how that spatial processing might be restored in individuals with hearing problems.

Please rsvp chi.lo@mq.edu.au by Thursday 4 October for catering purposes.
