Seminars in Hearing Research
Date: Thursday, March 13, 2025
Location: Nelson 1215
Time: Noon - 1:00 pm
Speaker: Alexander L. Francis, Professor, SLHS
Title: Humans evolved to divide auditory attention
Abstract: In this talk I'll present an extremely preliminary overview of a perspective paper I'm writing on my sabbatical. In this paper I review evidence for how listening likely evolved in humans, consider how the soundscape has changed over the course of human history, and then speculate wildly about what this might mean for auditory technology in the (near) future.
