Perception and Action in Auditory Scenes (PAAS): Neural, Behavioural, Computational and Mechanical Systems

听觉场景是短暂的，但却无处不在地影响着人类的生活。人类如何应对这样的场景还没有解决，一个突出的事实是，在具有房间混响、不同的说话者和背景噪音的现实世界中，人们试图建造机器来响应语音、警告等。没有哪一门学科能解决这样的问题。在这个网络中，对语音、音乐和听力感兴趣的来自物理、医学、人类和社会科学的杰出研究人员将提供关于人类和机器如何定位、识别、解释和产生听觉事件的见解，并推动前沿技术的进步，例如自动语音识别、听力假体、听觉监测/警报系统。

Auditory scenes are temporal and ephemeral yet pervasively influence human life. How humans negotiate such scenes has not been solved, a fact highlighted by attempts to build machines to respond to speech, warnings etc., in real-world situations with room reverberation, different talkers, and background noise. No one discipline can solve such problems. In this network outstanding researchers from physical, medical, human, and social sciences with interests in speech, music and audition will provide insights into how humans and machines localize, recognize, interpret and produce auditory events, and advance frontier technologies, e.g., automatic speech recognition, hearing prostheses, auditory monitoring/warning systems.
