Thank you, Charles. This page is worth reading. The same applies to the
companion page
http://www.aetna.com/cpb/data/CPBA0256.html
Of course all statements from all industries should be read with the right
amount of salt. But then it seems that those from the medical industry beg
for more of it than those from the insurance industry.
As to the so-called "CAPD syndrome", obviously a lot more research is
needed. And we cannot even be certain if the term will survive many more
years.

Dear List -
Attached is the call for a special issue of IEEE Tr. Speech & Audio
that I'm co-editing. We're trying to provide a focus for people
working on the application of statistical techniques to
perceptual-style sound processing etc.
DAn.

* Call for Papers *
The IEEE Transactions on Speech and Audio Processing
Special Issue on
Statistical and Perceptual Audio Processing
http://journal.speech.cs.cmu.edu/SAPA2004/IEEESAP/
Systems for automatic audio analysis fall into two broad camps: those
based on statistical methods and models (e.g. current speech
recognizers, independent component analysis), and those mimicking
perceptual systems (exemplified by computational auditory scene
analysis, as well as early approaches to speech recognition such as
blackboards).
Both these approaches have their merits, and their strengths appear
complementary. The goal of this special issue is to collect work that
integrates these two threads - using rigorous, statistical tools to
exploit cues and processing analogous to those used by listeners.
In this special issue we invite researchers to submit papers that
combine perceptual and statistical principles, as applied to speech,
music and audio analysis. Papers describing original and previously
unpublished relevant research and new concepts are solicited on, but
not limited to, the following topics:
* General audio analysis * Perceptual aspects of statistical
algorithms
* Speech analysis such as independent component analysis and
* Music analysis non-negative matrix factorization.
* Audio classification * Hybrid methods that use CASA-like cues in a
* Speech recognition statistical framework, e.g. for separation
* Signal separation or recognition.
* Multi-channel analysis * Theoretical and empirical results on the
* Computational Auditory unification of statistical and perceptually
Scene Analysis (CASA) based approaches.
This special issue is a sequel to the ISCA Tutorial and Research
Workshop on Statistical and Perceptual Audio Processing being held
as a satellite to ICSLP-04 this October 2004 in Jeju, Korea:
http://www.sapa2004.org/
However, the special issue is a separate entity and participation in
the workshop will not influence the special issue review process.
SUBMISSION PROCEDURE
Prospective authors should prepare manuscripts according to the
Information for Authors as published in any recent issue of the
Transactions and as available on the web at:

Subject: Re: Central auditory processing disorder (CAPD)
I would not write off CAPD just now. Aside our lab, a few friends (e.g.,=20
Sandy Gordon-Salant and Peter Fitzgibbons, Karen Snell and her colleagues,=
=20
and of course Jim Jerger and his colleagues) have shown that the aging=20
process affects auditory processes beyond the periphery. As to the Aetna=20
analysis, it seems to be on the overly cautious side, almost like the=20
present Administration's analysis of global warming. Maybe we should ask=20
Paula Tallal (whose work became the basis for Fast ForWord) to give us her=
=20
answer to the insurance industry's views?
