Subject: [AUDITORY] Workshop on the Mathematics of Hearing June 16th, 2017, Toronto From: James Dewey <jbdewey@xxxxxxxx> Date: Thu, 11 May 2017 15:35:58 -0400 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>Just spreading the word about the Workshop on the Mathematics of Hearing,= happening Friday June 16th, 2017 at the Fields Institute in Toronto, ON.= More information and registration details at: http://www.fields.utoronto.ca/activities/16-17/mathhearing =46rom the website: "This one-day workshop aims to bring together a variety of researchers fr= om different backgrounds to explore, from both mathematical and biologica= l viewpoints, a wide range of topics related to the ear. Designed to be somewhat pedagogical in nature, the workshop will speak to= both those seeking to advance their knowledge/attitude of mathematics, a= s well as those curious to learn more about the wealth of mathematical op= portunity the ear motivates for study. As such, the workshop will be part= icularly geared towards students and postdocs, but open to all. General m= athematical themes are: fluid dynamics, spectral analysis, biomechanics, = neural computation, nonlinear dynamics, inverse problems, and stochastics= . Plans are in place to follow the workshop with a memorable evening recept= ion where Canadian electronic musician Loscil (http://www.loscil.ca/) wil= l set up a variety of interactive sound installations that will foster cr= eativity and discussion. It is expected that the day=E2=80=99s events wil= l also tie into the fact that 6/16 happens to be Bloomsday (and the loose= connection back to =E2=80=9Cquarks=E2=80=9D). While a stand-alone event in of itself, the workshop also serves as a pre= cursor to the subsequent Mechanics of Hearing meeting (http://www.mechani= csofhearing.org/moh2017/) to take place at Brock University on June 19-24= , 2017. Speakers/topics include: o Sarah Verhulst - cochlear neurobilogy and psychoacoustical modeling o Bard Ermentrout =E2=80=93 nonlinear dynamics o Andre Longtin =E2=80=93 neural coding o Laura Miller =E2=80=93 fluid dynamics o Christopher Shera =E2=80=93 inverse problems o George Zweig =E2=80=93 cochlear modeling
