Objective
The HSCN2005 course will offer a multidisciplinary and multimethodological program into sound perception and cognition in humans. To this end, lectures on phonetics, physiology, cognitive psychology, and cognitive neuroscience will be given by the leading experts in the field. In addition, tutorials on biophysical basics of electroencephalography (EEG), magnetoencephalography (MEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) will be given and procedures in anima l research introduced. The lectures are thematically arranged as following: 1. Theories in audition. Several influential theories on how perceive and organize the sound environment are introduced. 2. Structure of the auditory system. The neural pathways fr om the ear to the brain are covered as well as the functional organization of the auditory cortex and its interaction with higher brain areas. 3. Attention and memory. The importance of voluntary and involuntary attention to the proper analysis of the soun d environment is explained. Furthermore, auditory sensory memory functions in the absence of attention as well as their pathologies are addressed. 4. Development and plasticity. Development of hearing is introduced from fetus up to the adulthood. Furthermo re, functional changes in the brain due to learning and rehabilitation are addressed in the case of acquired and developmental disorders. 5. Language. Perception and learning of language are addressed, ranging from the perception of phonetic structure to b ilingualism. In addition, cases of deteriorated language functions are introduced. 6. Music. Neurocognition of music is described in terms of musical expectations, musical expertise, and music-induced emotions. After the theory-based course, the students w ill participate in a hands-on course arranged in Helsinki laboratories. During this part of the program, each participant has the opportunity to familiarize him/hers#
