Overview
Starting with the physiology and physics of the ear, you will develop a solid grasp of how loudness, pitch and the ear’s frequency bands really work.
What you will study
You will grapple with the fundamental difficulties of psychophysics – we cannot have direct access to any human’s perception, and you’ll discover how we get round this with clever experimental design.
As the Psychoacoustics and Human Response module at the University of Salford progresses, you will move up the chain of auditory perception, ending up with contemporary topics such as soundscape perception. You’ll apply your new knowledge and skills in coursework.
Programme Structure
You will:- Gain a detailed and systemic understanding of the human auditory system, and how this allows humans to perceive the surrounding acoustic environment, thorough percepts such as pitch, loudness, and localisation
- Develop a critical understanding of soundscape and psychoacoustic methods applied to perception-driven engineering
- Develop an understanding of the state-of-the-art methods of synthesis and analysis of auditory scenes
- Understand the crucial role of good experimental design in obtaining psychoacoustic data
