Res.9-003 Brains, Minds and Machines

Res.9-003 Brains, Minds and Machines (Summer 2015, MIT OCW). Instructors: Prof. Tomaso Poggio (Course Director, MIT) and Prof. Gabriel Kreiman (Course Director, Harvard). This course explores the problem of intelligence - its nature, how it is produced by the brain and how it could be replicated in machines - using an approach that integrates cognitive science, which studies the mind; neuroscience, which studies the brain; and computer science and artificial intelligence, which study the computations needed to develop intelligent machines.

Lecture 33 - Josh McDermott - Introduction to Audition, Part 2

Instructor: Josh McDermott. The study of sound textures and high level goals of auditory processing. Anatomy and structure of the auditory system, frequency tuning of cochlear transduction, perception of real-world textures using synthesized textures with similar statistics.
