This class provides the necessary basis for understanding the cognitive processes involved in our auditory perception of both speech and music. It will examine the basic cognitive theories of memory and attention, the underlying concepts of information processing, and how humans process auditory information to create meaningful events and elicit emotion. The course is multidisciplinary, with contributions from music, biology, physics, psychology, philosophy, and computer science. Numerous demonstrations are used to reinforce the theoretical material presented in the lectures.
Course descriptions are stored in OASIS and are maintained by the Associate Dean for each School.
