YNiC seminar today (external speaker)

by rem

Dear Users This afternoon (4.15 pm in YNiC open plan) Dr. Carolyn McGettigan from Royal Holloway will be giving a talk on "Feel the noise: Exploring individual variability in the perception of speech and vocalizations". http://www.carolynmcgettigan.com/ Abstract: This talk will present a range of behavioural and neuroimaging studies in which explorations of individual variability in perceptual performance have yielded additional insights into the systems supporting the perception of speech and vocal cues in humans. The presentation will focus on speech recognition and perceptual adaptation processes studied using cochlear implant simulations, and will also include recent work addressing the processing of emotional vocalisations such as laughter. Everyone is welcome to attend the talk and refreshments will be served afterwards. We will be taking Carolyn out for dinner after her talk. Please let me know if you would like to join us for dinner.
