Subject: 2011 Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses From: Stuart Rosen <stuart@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 17 Dec 2009 08:16:51 +0000 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>The 2011 Conference on Implantable Auditory Prostheses (CIAP) will be held July 24 - 29, 2011 at the Asilomar Conference Center in northern California, organised by the following team: Conference Chair: Stuart Rosen <stuart@xxxxxxxx> Conference Co-Chair: Ruth Litovsky <litovsky@xxxxxxxx> Administrative Co-Chair: Robert V. Shannon <BShannon@xxxxxxxx> This conference brings together the world’s leading researchers in the areas of cochlear implants and electrical hearing. The informal setting of the conference allows for extensive discussion and scientific interaction among both new and established researchers. We have already recruited a stellar steering committee to help in the planning, consisting of Christopher Brown, Bob Carlyon, Monita Chatterjee, Gail Donaldson, James Fallon, Johan Frijns, Andrej Kral, John Middlebrooks and Andrew Oxenham. As those of you who have attended before will know, we typically have sessions of talks organised around a particular theme, sometimes with speakers from areas related to cochlear implant research, rather than being centred in it. If you have an idea for a special session you would like to organise, please outline it (with speakers indicated) and send that information to: CIAP2011SpecialSessions@xxxxxxxx by 15 February 2010. Do not hesitate to contact any or all of the conference chairs should you wish to discuss aspects of this. Please consult the conference website (http:/www.hei.org/ciap/) for additional (and continually updated)information.
