  • Ironically, terrible sound quality

    Surely there is someone at the ASA who can help with this. It’s nearly embarrassing.

  • Finally!

    I’ve been waiting for this podcast forever! I love being an ASA member and receiving Acoustics Today and JASA in the mail and always felt like they needed a podcast to supplement the materials. Very very excited.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Assessing Sediment Heterogeneity on Continental Shelves and Slopes
Q: How has machine learning influenced the approach to geoacoustic inversion in this work?
Machine learning and Bayesian inference have been long-standing tools in the field; recent efforts emphasize careful handling of model complexity to avoid overfitting and to maintain predictive power across frequencies, highlighting the need for protection mechanisms in inversion and model design.
Assessing Sediment Heterogeneity on Continental Shelves and Slopes
Q: What are the four main goals you set out to achieve with the experiments?
Understand the physical mechanisms controlling propagation in fine-grain sediments, quantify uncertainties in seabed parameter estimates via remote sensing, correlate acoustic variations with seabed variations, and assess how remote sensing can build robust geoacoustic models for inference.
Assessing Sediment Heterogeneity on Continental Shelves and Slopes
Q: Why focus on continental shelves and slopes for this seabed characterization work?
Because interactions with the seabed in those regions drive complex heterogeneity that significantly affect sound propagation, and studying this area helps improve models and remote sensing capabilities for practical coastal applications.
Slurping, Snuffling, and Crunching: Assessing Misophonia Symptoms
Q: What are the next steps for this research?
Future work includes conducting surveys among audiologists to understand practices surrounding misophonia and investigating potential neural markers related to the condition.
Slurping, Snuffling, and Crunching: Assessing Misophonia Symptoms
Q: How did participants react to the trigger sounds?
Participants in the misophonia group reported significantly higher aversiveness scores for trigger sounds compared to the control group, consistent with expectations.
