Prof. Dr. Dr. Daniel Strauß das Prof. Dr. Dr. Daniel Strauß das After the lectures, the students will have a deep knowledge of human auditory perception and processing. Particular emphasis is placed on the mapping of numerical auditory models onto neuronal structures, binaural hearing and selective auditory attention. The students become aware of the importance of research in this area for the development of new diagnostic and therapeutic procedures. This module is offered in close collaboration with ENT specialists, such as the Saarland University Hospitals Department of Otorhinolaryngology or with the ENT-center of the MediClin Bosenberg-Clinics. Participation in actual research studies and/or lab projects to complement course topics is required. That way, students receive soft skill training related to safe patient handling. 0.
