Subject: Graduate training opportunity in auditory perception From: Michael Schutz <schutz@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2016 07:24:31 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>The MAPLE (Music, Acoustics, Perception and LEarning) lab at McMaster University has an opening for a new MSc/PhD student interested in pursuing advanced study in the Department of Psychology, Neuroscience & Behaviour (PNB). We are planning several new projects exploring the role of temporal structure/timbre on perceptual organization – specifically the role of amplitude envelope: http://maplelab.net/overview/amplitude-envelope/ These include applications for improving auditory alarms in medical devices (i.e., human-computer interface design), basic issues of perception pertinent to hearing aids, and evaluation of multi-sensory perception. Successful students will need a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology, Cognitive Science, Neuroscience, Computer Science, or another affiliated discipline. Experience with computer programming and statistical analyses will be viewed very favorably, but are not required. General information on the graduate program and links to application instructions can be found at www.maplelab.net/grad; specific questions beyond those addressed on this page should be directed to Dr. Michael Schutz (schutz@xxxxxxxx). Please include a CV, unofficial transcript, brief writing sample, and indication of citizenship/residency status (i.e. Canadian or non-Canadian) with your inquiry. The MAPLE Lab is affiliated with the renowned McMaster Institute for Music and the Mind (MIMM), home to the internationally acclaimed LIVE Lab – a new multi-million dollar concert hall/research facility built to an NC10 standard, with a Meyer Sound Active Acoustic system capable of simulating any conceivable auditory environment. Preference will be given to those interested in Although students enter our program at the MSc level, preference will be given to those interested in continuing on to our PhD program (strong students are “promoted” to the PhD track after a successful first year).
