Auditory and Cognitive Neuroscience and the State of Audio Technology - A Multi-Disciplinary Panel Discussion - Rebekah Wilson, Susan Rogers, Micha Heilbron & Ryszard Auksztulewicz - ADC 2024
---
As Dr Susan Rogers says, auditory science and brain science attract similar kinds of thinkers — those who are ok with imagining the mechanism and process. One of the most fascinating areas of neuroscience is the emerging theoretical framework known as ‘predictive processing’ which describes the brain as essentially a prediction machine which is a combination of ideas from psychology or neuroscience, machine learning and information theory. Fundamentally, every technology we develop in the audio industry is an interface with the brain. In recent years, advances in understanding how the brain works give us opportunities to discover novel approaches to audio interfaces, which should lead to the design of new products. This session will inform us better, as audio technology developers, about what kinds of tools can we develop that harness the brain’s abilities to advance the fields of music technology, audio engineering, live sound, music education and more.
Speaking is Dr Susan Rogers herself, sound engineer for Prince in the 1980s; with a doctorate in pyschology and a focus on music cognition and psychoacoustics, she is currently associate professor in the Music Production and Engineering and Liberal Arts departments at Berklee College of Music. We also welcome Dr Micha Heilbron who works is at the intersection of cognitive science and AI and is assistant professor in cognitive AI and computational cognitive (neuro)science at the University of Amsterdam. We are joined by cognitive computational neuroscientist Dr Ryszard Auksztulewicz whose is interested in prediction, memory, learning, attention, and their disorders. Hosted by Rebekah Wilson whose background as composer, software and networking programmer, and technology researcher saw her merge those passions when co-creating the industry standard in audio remote-recording software: Source-Connect
Indicative themes include:
Prediction
Signal processing
Compression
Generative models
Music preference
The format will be a panel with an in-person moderator with the online experts in their expansive fields including auditory and cognitive neuroscience, psychoacoustics, AI and ML, and music and sensory processing.
