Roy D. Patterson
Roy Dunbar Patterson is an auditory neuroscientist in the Department of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience at the University of Cambridge. He is a senior research scientist of the Medical Research Council (United Kingdom), UK Medical Research Council and a :Fellows of the Acoustical Society of America, Fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, from which he received the ASA Silver Medal, Silver Medal in Psychological and Physiological Acoustics in 2015. Biography Patterson grew up in Toronto and studied Chemical Engineering and Experimental Psychology at the University of Toronto, graduating in 1967. He did his PhD at the University of California, San Diego, in David M. Green's lab. The purpose was to develop a computational version of J. C. R. Licklider's (1951) "duplex theory of pitch perception". This involved first developing an "auditory filter bank" model of the spectral analysis performed by the human peripheral auditory system, and then running experiment ...

Auditory Science
Auditory science or hearing science is a field of research and education concerning the perception of sounds by humans, animals, or machines. It is a heavily interdisciplinary field at the crossroad between acoustics, neuroscience, and psychology. It is often related to one or many of these other fields: psychophysics, psychoacoustics, audiology, physiology, otorhinolaryngology, speech science, automatic speech recognition, music psychology, linguistics, and psycholinguistics. History Early auditory research included the early 19th century work of Georg Ohm and August Seebeck and their experiments and arguments about Fourier analysis of sounds. Later in the 19th century, German physicist Hermann von Helmholtz wrote ''Sensations of Tone'' describing the founding concepts of psychoacoustics, i.e. the relationship between the physical parameters of a sound and the percept that it induces. Psychoacoutics is primarily interested in the basic workings of the ear and is, therefore, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
