invitation to Signal processing and audiology – from front-end to
perception Southampton,  12th September 2011

TOPIC

The aim of the conference is to bring audiology and signal processing
researchers together in order to exchange ideas from audiology and
signal processing for the future hearing aids (HA) and cochlear
implants (CI). Multidisciplinary topics related to the hearing, signal
processing for hearing prosthesis, perception and neuroscience are
welcomed.

The uniqueness of the main session is to have such order of plenary
talks, that they will follow the signal processing path from the
front-end of a hearing prosthesis to the auditory system. The session
will be opened by a brief insight into a state-of the art scheme of
the HA/CI processing chain and the trends and requests of the hearing
prosthesis industry will be covered as well by the key note speakers.

This conference is organized in cooperation with the AUDIS Program –
Digital Signal Processing in Audiology: www.audis-itn.eu. Selected
work of the AUDIS fellows will be presented at the conference as well.

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

We welcome speakers to present their latest research on the above
mentioned topics. The contribution has to fit in the presented plenary
talk structure (signal processing path from the front-end of a hearing
prosthesis to the auditory system).

Accepted submissions on related scientific topics that not directly
fit in the plenary talk structure will be presented in an accompanying
poster session. Real-time demonstrations are welcomed as well.

Please send an extended abstract of your contribution (400-500 words,
plus figures/tables) with the text "Abstract" in the subject before
15th July 2011 to audis.conf.2011@xxxxxxxxxx Submissions include title
of the abstract, authors’ names and affiliation.

A book of abstract will be distributed during the conference and
published electronically. Authors of the selected best submissions
will be offered to contribute on a book which will be composed on
AUDIS topics after the conference.

IMPORTANT DATES

Abstract submission deadline: 15th  July 2011

Notification of acceptance:  5th August 2011

MOBILITY SUPPORT

We are able to offer limited mobility support for each participant.
