FW: Seminars in Hearing Research. Cole Trent. November 30. Nelson Hall. Room 1215. 12:00 - 1:00 pm

[cid:833d5314-1cec-48e0-bd4a-afd4727961f5] Seminars in Hearing Research Date: November 30, 2023 Place: Nelson Hall Room 1215 (located on University St right across from Lyles-Porter). Time: 12:00 - 1:00 pm Speaker: Cole Trent PhD Student,SLHS Title: Discrimination of intact vs elliptical sentences in CI-simulated speech Abstract: Cochlear implant (CI) speech-recognition outcomes are influenced by various combinations of bottom-up and top-down factors. As such, there is substantial individual variability in CI outcomes. The purpose of this project is to assess elliptical speech as a tool for evaluating bottom-up perceptual acuity in CI users. Noise-vocoded sentence stimuli were presented to 10 normal-hearing (NH) listeners. Stimuli consisted of IEEE sentences that either maintained correct consonant place-of-articulation cues (Intact Speech) or contained consonant "ellipses" that ambiguated spectral cues to consonant place (Elliptical Speech). The "ellipses" replaced each key-word consonant with a new consonant maintaining the same manner and voicing of the original, but with an altered place feature. A concurrent neuroimaging measurement was conducted to estimate cortical activity in bilateral auditory cortex and dorsolateral prefrontal cortex via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS). This project tested our hypotheses that: 1) NH participants will successfully detect ellipses in more favorable listening conditions but will be unable to detect ellipses under more degraded listening conditions, and 2) listeners will demonstrate differences in cortical activity in response to Intact vs Elliptical speech depending on the severity of the signal degradation. Preliminary results demonstrate that the detection of ellipses in speech is impacted by the spectral resolution of the signal, and this result is also reflected in listeners' cortical activity. These results have important implications for CI users whereby elliptical speech is a potential tool for isolating the quality of the bottom-up input from top-down processing of speech. This year's SHRP schedule is available here: https://purdue.edu/TPAN/hearing/shrp_schedule<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fogww.mj.am…> Titles and abstracts of all SHRP talks are here: https://purdue.edu/TPAN/hearing/shrp_abstracts<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fogww.mj.am…> There will not be a hybrid option this year. Talks will either be held in-person only or via Zoom only for long-distance speakers.

Training Migration from Passport to Brightspace - last call for Passport
by Hosler, Richard S 21 Nov '23

21 Nov '23

Hello, BNC 111, 200, 202, and 206 classes have now been migrated from Passport to Brightspace. If you are currently working on a Passport badge you have until December 1st 2023 to complete the badge through this system. Previously completed badges will be migrated to the new system after the yearly refresher training. I would suggest that if you are not close to completion on a Passport badge that is in progress, it might make more sense to just switch to Brightspace now. Please do not direct any new users to Passport going forward. Some instructions on going through the new process are found on the BNC Wiki Here<https://wiki.itap.purdue.edu/display/BNCWiki/Getting+Started+at+Birck> Here are the links to enroll in Brightspace classes: BNC 111 Birck Orientation and Safety Training - Brightspace Enrollment<https://eventreg.purdue.edu/training/CourseListing.aspx?master_id=6313&mast…> BNC 200/202/206 Birck Cleanroom Training - Brightspace Enrollment<https://eventreg.purdue.edu/training/CourseListing.aspx?master_id=6315&mast…> Early next year the annual refresher training BNC 151 will also be hosted on Brightspace. Info on that will be coming later. Please reach out to me if you have any questions.
