Subject: Second call for papers: APCAM 2007 From: Peter Pfordresher <pqp@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 23 Aug 2007 08:26:53 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Please accept our apologies for muiltiple postings. The 6th Annual Auditory Perception, Cognition, and Action Meeting will be held on Thursday, November 15, 2007 Hyatt Regency Hotel, Long Beach, California APCAM will be held just prior to the Annual Meeting of the Psychonomic Society (see http://psychonomic.org/ ). The goal of APCAM is to bring together researchers from various theoretical perspectives to present focused research on auditory cognition, perception, and aurally guided action. APCAM is a unique meeting in its exclusive focus on the perceptual, cognitive, and behavioral aspects of audition. For on-line submission and registration, go to: http://www.apcam.us/ The deadline for submissions is *** Saturday, September 15th **** Topics may include (but are certainly not limited to): *Auditory localization, motion perception, and spatial cognition *Auditory object, event, and pattern perception (including speech) *Aurally guided action and navigation *Auditory scene analysis *Auditory timing and attention *Pitch, loudness, and timbre perception *Music perception, cognition, and performance *Comparative auditory processing *Auditory behavioral neuroscience *Auditory memory and source identification We are pleased to announce that this year's meeting will include a keynote address by Dr. Aniruddh D. Patel of the Neurosciences Institute http://www.nsi.edu/users/patel Title: Rhythm in speech and music: parallels and differences. Abstract: In this talk I draw a basic distinction between periodic and nonperiodic rhythms in human auditory cognition. I argue that music and speech have fundamental differences in terms of periodic rhythms, and deep connections in terms of nonperiodic rhythms. Evidence for this argument draws on diverse strands of evidence including empirical comparisons of rhythmic structure in the two domains, research on rhythm perception, and data from cognitive neuroscience.
