Dear List, It is with pleasure that we can now officially announce the upcoming school on
"Advanced Psychoacoustics: Theory, Practice and Modelling"
Dates: 10-14th of November 2014
Aalborg University, Denmark.
It is our honour to announce a postgraduate school on Psychoacoustics, a join effort of the DREAMS-ITN network (www.dreams-itn.eu),
Aalborg University (www.aau.dk),
KU Leuven (www.kuleuven.be),
and EURASIP (www.eurasip.org). This 5-day course aims to fill the gap between psychoacoustics, signal processing, modelling, and sound perception. The invited leading experts will
provide the state-of-the-art in a wide range of topics within reverberation and psychoacoustics. Moreover, three workshops will run during the school on: 1) Auditory Modelling, 2) Room Acoustic Simulation and Analysis, and 3) Perceptual Evaluation and Experimental
Design. The school commences on Monday 10th of November at 8:00, and the final item on the schedule finishes at 17:00 on Friday 14th of November. The school is expected to be very popular, thus, the organisers will follow a first-come first-served registration procedure. For more information please
follow the link below. Registration will be closed as soon as the maximum number of participants is reached (~45). Direct Link to Registration page: goo.gl/nYDEYz Detailed information about the school: http://goo.gl/NFiKVe Brief: This 5-day intensive course will address topics in psychoacoustics’ theoretical framework, laboratory techniques
and methodologies, as well as perceptual-based modelling, targeting researchers who work in the domain of Reverberation and Dereverberation, in an audio signal processing context. The course program is designed to provide a collection of advanced topics in
psychoacoustics, where experts will provide the participants with a thorough insight to a set of pre-selected topics, over lectures, workshops, and masterclasses. Although a brief introduction to general psychoacoustics will be given, the attendee is expected
to be confident with basic psychoacoustics and/or audio signal processing, auditory modelling (see Moore, 2013; Plack 2008).
Target Group: Industry
Researchers, PostDocs, PhD Students.
Pre-Requirements: At least one of: Basic psychoacoustics, auditory system principles and audio
signal processing are pre-required for all attendees.
ECTS: The school has been assigned 4,5 ECTS, for reading material, attendance,
and workshops. An official reading list will be provided 3 weeks before the school. It is required to attend at least 80% of the lectures.
Organisers: Søren Bech (Aalborg University, Bang & Olufsen A/S), Søren Holdt Jensen (Aalborg
University), Toon van Waterschoot (KU Leuven), Neo Kaplanis (Bang &
Olufsen A/S ), Christer Peter Volk (DELTA A/S ), and EURASIP.
Invited Speakers: Alexander
Lindau (TU-Berlin), Alexander Raake (TU-Berlin), Dorte Hammershøi (Aalborg University), Jan Larsen (DTU), Jasper van Dorp Schuitman (Civolution), Nick Zacharov (DELTA A/S), Søren Bech (B&O), Steven van de Par (University of Oldenburg), Tapio Lokki (Aalto),
