The third seminar in the new HearMus series is taking place next Wednesday 18th December at 2pm GMT (3pm CET) with Prof. Stefania Serafin and Dr Ellie Harding ************************************************* HearMus Seminar 3 Time: Dec 18, 2024 14:00-16:00 GMT (15:00-17:00 CET) Multisensory technologies for hearing health Prof. Stefania Serafin (Aalborg University)
In this talk we will present some of the research projects that we are running at our Multisensory Experience Lab at Aalborg University. In collaboration with Copenhagen Hearing and Balance Center, part of Rigshospitalet,
and the Royal Danish Academy of Music, we are developing technologies to help individuals with diverse hearing abilities to appreciate music. All the developed solutions use several forms of multisensory technologies, from virtual and augmented reality to
haptic feedback, to augment or substitute hearing abilities. The ultimate goal is to enhance the overall musical experience. Rehabilitative effects of musical training for participants with hearing loss: completed and prospective studies Dr Ellie Harding (University of Groningen)
Musical training has the potential to hone auditory and motor networks in the brain, while at the same time being fun, engaging, and stimulating social interaction. In Groningen, we are implementing musical training
in multifaceted ways for populations with hearing loss. First, I will describe a study with adult cochlear implant (CI) users, a population whose functional deafness has been restored by an implanted device that replaces acoustic hearing with a lower quality
electric hearing. Then I will share plans of our new study for older adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss, either untreated or treated with hearing aids. In both studies, music is intended as a vehicle to stimulate beneficial neuroplasticity. DECEMBER Alinka Greasley is inviting you to a scheduled Zoom meeting. Topic: HearMus Seminar 3 (18.12.24) Time: Dec 18, 2024 14:00-16:00 GMT (15:00-17:00 CET) Join Zoom Meeting https://universityofleeds.zoom.us/j/86824411545 Meeting ID: 868 2441 1545 We look forward to seeing some of you there! Please pass on to anyone you feel would be interested. The HearMus seminar series provides a monthly forum for the discussion of a broad array of topics around music and hearing health. The series aims to yield a state of the art of research on music perception
and hearing impairment, hearing aids and music, and individual differences in music perception and production. Besides presentations from experts in academia and industry, the seminar series seeks to foster lively discussions and exchange of ideas, with the
joint goal of sustaining and enhancing access to music for people with diverse hearing needs.
