Objectives:
As a successor of the workshops held 10 years ago in 2003 at HWK, Germany, in 2010 at the UCL Gatsby computational neuroscience unit, UK, and in 288 again at HWK, Germany, this workshop further promotes and facilitates interaction between researchers in speech and audio processing, psychoacoustics and neurophysiology to stimulate joint efforts towards a better understanding of acoustic information processing in challenging conditions characterized by noise and reverberation. We believe that a breakthrough in the understanding of human Auditory Scene Analysis (ASA) and Computational Auditory Scene Analysis (CASA) can only be expected by multidisciplinary collaboration. Interaction of distinguished international speakers and young scientists is fostered by organizing the meeting in a combined workshop and summer school format.
