Modeling Issues in Speech and Hearing: Course Description
Scientific modeling is a specific type of knowledge visualization that helps biologists, physicists, chemists, doctors and many other research professionals explore hypotheses. In the 'Modeling Issues in Speech and Hearing' OpenCourseWare, students will learn how to develop a scientific model using auditory and speech biophysics as a case study. The course addresses the philosophical questions that arise in the definition of a model, as well as theoretical and experimental approaches to model building. Students will also have the opportunity to test a variety of models and explore what makes an effective scientific model. MIT Professors Jennifer Melcher and Christopher Shera teach this graduate-level course.
Problem sets and suggested readings are offered on the course website. If you're interested in taking this free online course, visit the auditory and speech biophysics course page.
