Subject: [AUDITORY] Auditory Processing Workshop in Telluride this Summer From: Malcolm Slaney <malcolm@xxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 15:41:54 -0800 List-Archive:<http://lists.mcgill.ca/scripts/wa.exe?LIST=AUDITORY>--Apple-Mail=_4C0257B2-97C8-4E14-A4D6-B5BEE1A70054 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii I want to let Auditory people know that we are now taking applications = for the Telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Cognition workshop, which has = been the source of many novel ideas. The experiment and algorithms in = this paper, for example, were conceived in Telluride a few summers ago: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24429136 = <https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24429136> The official announcement reads: The 3-week Telluride 2018 Neuromorphic = Cognition Engineering Workshop (July 1-20, 2018) is now open for = applications from participants. This year's workshop theme is Embodied = Perception and Action. Details of the workshop, application details, and = this year's four exciting topic areas can be found at = https://sites.google.com/view/telluride2018/home = <https://sites.google.com/view/telluride2018/home>. Applications will = close on Apr 2nd, 2018. The exact audio projects are to be determined based on who is in = Telluride, but the focus will be around the perception of speech and = music, as measured by EEG (and other datasets we bring with us), and = using DNNs to model the data. We endeavor to put together multiple pilot = experiments that demonstrate new and audacious idea. All in 20 days. There are other projects in Telluride this summer, but clearly the most = interesting work gets done in the auditory project. :-) I encourage all interested PhD students and recent PhD graduates to = consider applying. This is a working workshop, where participants work = closely with about 10 faculty who will be in attendance. Confirmed = faculty so far include:=20 Shihab Shamma (Maryland and ENS),=20 Alain de Chevigne (ENS and UCL),=20 Ed Lalor (Rochester and Dublin),=20 Lisa Margulis (Arkansas),=20 Mounya Elhali (JHU),=20 Antje Ihlefeld (NJIT),=20 Lucas Para (CUNY),=20 Nima Mesgarani (Columbia),=20 Tobias Reichenbach (Imperial),=20 Behtash Babadi (Maryland),=20 Jens Hjorkjaer (DTU) and=20 Malcolm Slaney (Google).=20 Where else, for such a low price, can you work with all these amazing = people at one time!!??!?!!? Let me know if you have questions.
