Ph.D. Summer School 2011 (10 ECTs)
Acoustic Communication
August, 12th-25th 2011
A graduate course arranged by
The Graduate School SNAK,
Application Deadline: May 1st 2011
The course focuses on methods and techniques for studying animal sound communication in air (including the sonic, infra-sonic and ultra- sonic ranges and air-currents), in water, and in solids (vibrations). The course includes lectures, practicals and excursions with time for discussion. Introductory lectures aim at giving an overwiew of the area of acoustic communication followed by lectures on the fundamentals of acoustics and signal analysis. Special emphasis on equipment and methods such as laser vibrometry and laser anemometry, array techniques, psychophysical methods, and underwater sound recording and localization. Part of the course will be held at our marine biological field station where the students can work with the sounds of captive harbor porpoises.
