Introduction
The general subject of the meeting is "Binaural processing and spatial hearing". The concept is to consider this topic from different perspectives, including current physiological concepts, perceptual measures and models as well as implications for new technical applications.
The symposium will be divided into the following sessions:
Session 1. Physiological measures and models of binaural processing
Session 2. Perceptual measures and models of spatial hearing
Session 3. Speech processing and perception under adverse conditions
Session 4. Recent concepts in binaural cochlear-implant and hearing-aid processing
See Programme for details.
Participants are encouraged to present free papers and
posters.
Contributed oral presentations (free papers) are planned to be 15 or 20 minutes including 5 minutes
for questions. Poster areas are 1.4 m high and 1.23 m wide. Possibility for mains connection (220 V AC).
