This course provides an overview of the cognitive and neural processes that underlie humans’ auditory abilities. Core topics include psychoacoustics, the auditory cortex and its interconnectedness to other brain structures, auditory scene analysis, as well as special topics such as auditory disorders. Insights into these different topics will be provided from research using behavioural, neuroimaging, computational, and neuropsychological techniques.
Priority will be given to students in the Specialist/Specialist Co-op programs in Neuroscience, and the Specialist/Specialist Co-op and Major/Major Co-op programs in Psychology and Mental Health Studies. Students in the Major program in Neuroscience and the Minor program in Psychology will be admitted as space permits.
