Perspectives on audio: Information vs data; Fidelity vs resolution Date: 17 August 2021 Time: 7pm BST Audio bridges science and engineering with the complexity of the human listener. If we are to close that gap, we need to ask the right questions. This talk begins with a tutorial overview of topics in modern auditory science that are pertinent to fidelity and resolution. It also sketches information flow in the listener giving some surprising estimates. This is a joint event with the AES UK Section Cambridge Group.
