We are pleased to announce that the Bioacoustics Research Program at the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology, Ithaca, NY will be running a Sound Analysis Workshop from 17th to 21st March 2008 inclusive. The course aims to provide a basic practical understanding of spectrographic analysis along with an introduction to a wide range of techniques used in sound analysis, and an introduction to applications of sound analysis techniques in biological research. We will focus primarily on the use of Raven and XBAT (two software programs developed at BRP) for two types of bioacoustics research: a) Large-scale monitoring programs using recordings that may span many months, where the aim generally centers on counting and/or locating vocalizations. b) Detailed analysis of selected calls, for instance investigating differences in vocalizations among individuals of a species. The maximum number of participants we take is 10. There are still at least 6 places available. The cost is $1,300, which covers tuition, course materials and lunches (all other expenses - travel, lodging, other meals etc the participant's responsibility).
