FIRST INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AUDIBLE
ACOUTICS IN MEDICINE AND PHYSIOLOGY
at Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
September 8-9, 2008
https://engineering.purdue.edu/acoustics
Abstract Submission Deadline is July 1, 2008
Registration Deadline is July 15, 2008
REGISTRATION IS FREE
Audible acoustic measurement and analysis
techniques are being enhanced and applied to a
growing array of biomedical research and clinical
problems. This emerging field is of increasing
importance to:
* orthopedic and sports medicine
* ear, nose and throat diagnostics and
treatment
* audiology and speech-language pathology
* critical care
* sleep medicine
* pulmonary medicine
* cardiology.
The primary goal of this symposium is to bring
together a wide range of researchers, technology
developers, and clinicians in order to enhance
their programs through exposure to novel
technologies, techniques, and applications in this
diverse field.
The symposium will feature the invited
presentations indicated below. It will also
highlight poster sessions based on submissions
covering all aspects of audible acoustic
technologies and related physiological and clinical
research. In addition, there will be networking
lunches both days, and a conference dinner Monday
evening. The dinner will feature a presentation and
demonstration on natural soundscapes by Bernie
Krause of Wild Sanctuary.
