Dear colleagues,
The Institut de l'Audition (Hearing Institute) organizes yearly in Paris a two-weeks course on the neuroscience
and physiology of Hearing. This year it will take place from June 3 to June 14, 2024.
All information about the course content and registration can be found here https://www.institut-audition.fr/en/pasteur-course.
Registration deadline March 15.
This course aims at introducing forefront research on the understanding of auditory perception from the
sensory periphery to cortical networks and cognitive aspects. It is targeted at students and researchers who start in the field of hearing science and wish to have an overview of the key concepts and questions in the field as well as the modern techniques
to study audition. The topics covered include the principle of acoustics, the neurophysiology of the
auditory system, the genetics of the ear and its associated pathologies the rehabilitation techniques
to treat patients, as well as the psychophysics of auditory perception and the relation between auditory
information processing in the brain and recent AI technologies for sound recognition and processing.
The course combines
in a friendly atmosphere lectures in the morning and hands-on sessions in the afternoon, which introduce
in practice the
anatomy of the ear and histological techniques, sound synthesis and analysis, as well as electrophysiology and
two-photon calcium imaging techniques to investigate the auditory system in humans and animals.
Looking forward to hosting you in Paris for this event !
Brice Bathellier and Boris
Gourévitch
