Mechanics of Hearing Meeting 2005

描述（由申请人提供）：第九届听力力学研讨会-听觉机制：过程和模型-本森酒店，波特兰俄勒冈州，2005年7月23日至28日-本提案要求支持一个研讨会，汇集活跃的高级实验学家和理论家在不同物种的听力力学工作，沿着学生和初级研究人员进入这一研究领域。研讨会的目的是讨论，在长度和深度，在该领域的最新理论和实验工作，以及目前的重要问题和争议。研讨会的一个主要目标是促进对听力外围机制的理解。增加对听觉力学的理解将有助于我们理解和未来的听力障碍治疗。主要目标是促进理论和实验科学家之间的强有力的互动和联系。为确保每个兴趣领域的所有与会者都能参与，口头报告的数量将限制在50份左右，以避免平行会议。这个数字既能充分反映不同意见，又有利于自由讨论。海报会议将允许未被选中进行口头介绍的个人介绍他们的数据和想法。文件的书面副本将在会议举行前一个月分发给会议登记人，会议记录将在会议结束后立即发表。为实现这一快速出版时间表，将要求作者在登记时或会议本身时以电子方式提交手稿。 第二个目标是向听力科学家介绍科学推广的想法和可行性。为此，讲习班将有一个科学宣传部分，其中一名全体发言人将为高中学生讲课。此外，与会者将获得如何在听力科学的公共教育领域积极主动的信息和经验。

DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The Ninth Mechanics of Hearing Workshop - Auditory Mechanisms: Processes and Models - The Benson Hotel, Portland Oregon, July 23-28, 2005 - This proposal requests support for a workshop to bring together active senior experimentalists and theoreticians working in hearing mechanics in diverse species, along with students and junior investigators entering this field of research. The purpose of the workshop is to discuss, at length and in depth, the most recent theoretical and experimental work in the field, together with the currently important issues and controversies. One primary goal of the workshop is to advance the understanding of the peripheral mechanisms of hearing. An increased understanding of auditory mechanics will aid in our understanding of, and future treatment of hearing impairment. The primary objective is to promote strong interaction and connections between theoretical and experimental scientists. To ensure involvement of all attendees in each interest area, the number of orally presented papers will be limited to approximately 50 to avoid parallel sessions. This number will allow ample representation of different opinions while still being conducive to free discussion. Poster sessions will permit individuals who are not selected for oral presentations to present their data and ideas. Written copies of the papers will be circulated to registrants of the meeting a month before the meeting and the proceedings of the meeting will be published immediately afterward. This rapid publication time scale will be accomplished by requiring authors to submit manuscripts electronically at the time of registration or at the meeting itself. The secondary goal is to introduce mechanics-of-hearing scientists to the idea and feasibility of science outreach. To this end, the workshop will have a scientific outreach component where one of the plenary speakers will provide a lecture for high school students. In addition, attendees will receive information and experience in how to be proactive in the area of public education for hearing science.
