6.182

Psychoacoustics Project Laboratory

Spring Term 2012-13

 


 

Overview

This project laboratory provides an introduction to the problems and methods involved in the measurement of human sensory (especially auditory) capabilities.  The laboratory exercises employ computers in real time for experiment control and data analysis, but minimal programming background is assumed.  Students are encouraged to perform original experiments and to analyze their results with reference to the relevant scientific literature.  The laboratory thus provides an introduction to research in psychoacoustics and related areas of experimental psychology.
