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).
