项目摘要/摘要 近年来，由于人类的进步，人类认知听觉神经科学取得了长足的进步。 神经成像，创新的机器学习/大数据分析方法的出现，以及更大的 动物模型中认知-感觉相互作用的机械论理解。这里充满活力的景观 新兴领域需要一个高度跨学科、以人为本、以翻译为中心的研讨会，它将带来 将学术界和工业界的专业知识结合在一起。本申请要求为研讨会提供部分资金 关于2020年7月和2022年7月在宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡联合主办的认知听觉神经科学(SCAN) 卡内基梅隆大学(CMU)和匹兹堡大学(PIT)的合资企业。作为两年一次的会议， SCAN的目标是成为新兴市场中当前研究的一流智力和专业场所 人类认知听觉神经科学领域。SCAN将纳入学术会议的典型元素 (研究演讲、海报)，以及在这个快速发展的领域促进“蓝天”思维的新想法。 SCAN将勤奋创新地努力实现包容性，并营造一种鼓励 来自女性、代表性不足的少数群体和具有以下特征的个人的智力和专业参与 残疾人士。扫描的另一个关键目标是促进产业界和学术界的合作伙伴关系，着眼于 翻译基础研究，培养学员的就业机会。匹兹堡地理位置独特， 启动扫描。匹兹堡拥有令人羡慕的同一地点的听觉神经科学专业知识，也是 为从事机器学习、自然语言处理和 语音识别。SCAN将利用这些优势促进与核心任务相关的增长和创新 美国国立耳聋和沟通障碍研究所。

PROJECT SUMMARY/ABSTRACT In recent years, human cognitive auditory neuroscience has made rapid strides due to advances in human neuroimaging, the advent of innovative machine learning/big data analytic approaches, and a greater mechanistic understanding of cognitive-sensory interactions in animal models. The dynamic landscape of this emergent field necessitates a highly interdisciplinary, human and translation-centric symposium that brings together expertise across academia and industry. This application requests partial funding for the Symposium on Cognitive Auditory Neuroscience (SCAN) to be hosted in Pittsburgh, PA in July 2020 and 2022, as a joint venture between Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) and University of Pittsburgh (Pitt). As a biennial meeting, SCAN aims to become the premiere intellectual and professional venue for current research in the emerging field of human cognitive auditory neuroscience. SCAN will incorporate elements typical to academic conferences (research talks, posters) as well as novel ideas that promote ‘blue sky’ thinking in this rapidly evolving field. SCAN will assiduously and innovatively work towards inclusivity and creating an atmosphere that encourages intellectual and professional engagement from women, underrepresented minorities, and individuals with disabilities. Another critical aim of the SCAN is to foster industry-academic partnerships with an eye towards translation of basic research and fostering career opportunities for trainees. Pittsburgh is uniquely situated to launch SCAN. With an enviable concentration of co-located auditory neuroscience expertise, Pittsburgh is also an intellectual hub for industries/start-ups engaged in in machine learning, natural language processing, and speech recognition. SCAN will leverage these advantages to foster growth and innovation tied to core missions of the National Institutes of Deafness and Communication Disorders.
