DESCRIPTION:IEEE PLES&CE joint Chapter/Toronto Section invites you to the f
 ollowig DL event:\n\nThe dream of high fidelity continues since more than 
 100 years. In the last decades\, signal processing has contributed many ne
 w solutions and a vast amount of additional knowledge to this field. These
  include\n\n- simple solutions like matrix multichannel systems\,\n- audio
  coding which changed the world of music distribution and listening habits
 \n- active noise control\n- active modification of room acoustics\n- searc
 h and recommendation technologies to find your favourite music\n- and many
  more …\n\nSo are there any problems left to be solved?\n\nAmong others\
 , I see two main research areas:\n\n- Music Information Retrieval (MIR)\, 
 helping us to find and organise music\, or teaching playing musical instru
 ments\n- Immersive technologies for movie theatres and eventually our home
 s\, creating the illusion of being at some other place\n\nFor such systems
  we use our knowledge about hearing\, especially how ear and brain work to
 gether to form the sensation of sound. However\, our knowledge about heari
 ng\, about psychoacoustics is still far from complete. In fact\, just in t
 he last few years we have learned a lot about what we don’t know.\n\nThe
  talk will touch on a number of the subjects above\, explain some current 
 work and its applications and finally talk about open research questions r
 egarding psychoacoustics and the evaluation of audio quality.\n\nCo-sponso
