Subject: [AUDITORY] Auditory research at the 2024 Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop From: Malcolm Slaney <000001757ffb5fe1-dmarc-request@xxxxxxxx> Date: Sun, 17 Mar 2024 12:14:38 -0700--Apple-Mail=_6A2C90B4-B3F7-4DB1-AC92-2AC432169FDE Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf-8 I want to invite people on this list to consider applying to attend the = 2024Telluride Neuromorphic Cognition Engineering Workshop. Claire Pelofi = (NYU) and I are leading the auditory group this year and we are planning = to investigate how we can model and understand how the brain understands = music and speech, and how the motor and visual systems help make this = all possible. Over the years, many Telluride projects have turned into = interesting papers. This includes the work from a few years ago which = demonstrated the first real-time auditory attention decoder using EEG = <https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/24429136/> and now has more than 700 = citations. Senior PhD students, postdocs and industrial researchers are encouraged = to apply. In the end approximately 10 applicants (for the full three = weeks) and ~10 faculty (in and out over the workshop) will study a = number of auditory ideas. Cross-institution collaborations are strongly = encouraged. We will have EEG hardware on site. This is a three-week = long working workshop. Attendees work on projects with faculty and other = applicants to define an interesting question, collect the data (in = Telluride or from afar) and summarize the idea and the results at end of = the three weeks. It is intense and fun. Oh, and by the way, Telluride is a *beautiful* town, sitting at nearly = 9000 ft above sea level, and the mountains start literally blocks from = downtown and go up another 3000 feet. More details are below.
