  • Mathematics of Hearing (MathHear) 2017
    • A 1-day workshop at the Fields Institute themed around mathematical methods in hearing science. The workshop will take place on Friday June 16, 2017 (Bloomsday), just prior to MoH (see below).
    • The workshop will be open to all interested participants, but is intended to be somewhat pedagogical in nature and thereby be of strong interest to students, postdocs, and early-stage faculty.
    • A fantastic lineup of speakers is presently in place (see Fields Workshop link here)
  • Mechanics of Hearing (MoH) 2017
    • Updated flyer (older version here)
    • Another webpage related to meeting (courtesy of the Fields Institute)
    • The location for the conference will be Brock University, Ontario, Canada
    • Some relevant pics for those who are interested
  • CAP Congress (Queens University, May/June 2017)
    • More info coming early 2017 [CB is Chair for the CAP Division of Physics in Medicine and Biology (DPMB) for 2016-2017]
  • Slide from a recent talk for the York University Scholars Hub speakers series can be downloaded here (~55 MB download)
  • CAP Congress (Ottawa, June 2016)

  • ASM CUE 2010 (downloads are in pdf format): recent JMBE article , mathematics attitude questionnaire, draft of presentation slides
  • Simple code that allows you to listen to a spontaneous otoacoustic emission. Via Matlab, you can filter the signal (either high-pass or band-pass) and play it back out. Note that your ear can pick up quite readily what the statistics does for you (i.e. for filtered noise, the amplitude modulation is quite noticeable while for an SOAE, you can hear the stable amplitude). The zipped file should contain everything you need (including an SOAE time waveform from a human female ear containing several nice peaks). [posted July. 2009]
  • Spontaneous otoacoustic emission data taken from an adult Tokay gecko on 7/19/07. The file is a large time waveform (60 s long at a sample rate of 22050 Hz). For convenience, this file shows how to plot the resulting (averaged) spectrum in order to visualize the SOAE peaks, but many other insightful forms of analysis could be done….. [posted Feb. 2009]
  • Data on various aspects of cochlear morphology across a wide range of species compiled from various sources. Insightful to plot and do various statistical analyses on. Two files are included (and intended for use in Matlab): this file will create a structure in Matlab containing the data, while this file provides an example of how to extract and plot the data from said structure [posted Feb. 2009]
