Packed Lunch: Hearing
23 March 2011, 13.00 - 13.45
Feed your curiosity at our daytime
discussions. Drop in to hear local scientists in conversation about
their latest experiments, life in the lab and why science matters
to everyone, all in the space of your lunch hour. Bring your
sarnies with you to eat while you listen.
We hear by amplifying the sounds that
go into our ear. But our ears can be tricked using auditory
illusions. Ifat Yasin, Lecturer in Auditory
Anatomy and Physiology at UCL Ear Institute, thinks these aural
deceptions may hold the key to improving the treatment of hearing
impairment. Join her to find out more about the science of
perceiving sound.
This event will have live speech to
text transcription so that deaf, deafened and hard of hearing
visitors can also follow what’s being said. For further information
about speech to text, please contact Gemma Hopkins at G.Hopkins@wellcome.ac.uk
This event is FREE. First
come, first seated.
