Re: [AUDITORY] Teaching Signals & System for Speech & Hearing

["Richard F. Lyon" <dicklyon@xxxxxxx>]

Stuart and all,

We're starting a course based on my book, with the students presenting, one chapter per week, sort of like we ran inside Google in 2021, but this time targeted mostly at our partners in the Australia Future Hearing Initiative.  Anyone is welcome to attend, though I expect the 9 AM Sydney time will not appeal to people in Europe (midnight UTC, I think).

This will be run out of Macquarie University, via Microsoft Teams, with sessions recorded and presentations available, so might generate some useful material for others. 

Ping me or Simon Carlile if you want to be included in the invitation.  Or maybe we'll post more details here.  It starts this coming Wednesday in Sydney (Tuesday PM in the Americas and London).

Our projects are focused on assistive hearing devices and hearing health delivery, so we go into a lot more depth in things like cochlear models than you do, but your book is one that I recommend for a good introduction to the relevant systems theory and signal processing approaches.

I am going to be teaching a Master's level course about Signals & System for Speech & Hearing next year for mostly linguistics students. I'm planning to use the textbook I wrote with Peter Howell of the same name, and I was curious to see how others who have taught something like this handled the material, perhaps as part of a course in acoustic phonetics.

I taught a similar course for about 10 years to 1st year UGs in Audiology, but that was some time ago, and I think it would be important for students to get some practical experience of employing the relevant concepts, probably using Matlab. I wondered whether any of you had done this as well, or used some other software, whether or not you used my book.

I'd be grateful if anyone had any relevant teaching materials to share (including exercises) concerning this kind of topic.

Thanks so much!
