We are pleased to announce a special session at the upcoming “Acoustics in Focus” ASA conference (https://acousticalsociety.org/technical-program-and-special-sessions/) Session Title: Open Source Audio Processing Platform – Live Workshop! Session Type: Panel Discussion / Workshop Description: This workshop introduces the
Tympan Open Source Audio Processing Platform (www.tympan.org), which wraps powerful audio hardware and software tools in a user-friendly app and novice programming environment for real-time
acoustic signal processing. The workshop will feature live virtual tutorials, an open Q&A, and an invitation to participate in a hackathon challenge. Participants to the hackathon will be invited to present their results at the Fall 2021 ASA meeting. Timeline: June 8, 2021: Tutorial and Hackathon announcement June 20, 2021: Hackathon participants
submit a 1-page proposal. June 24, 2021: Top 10 proposals receive a free Tympan Rev E. September 2021: Abstract submission to ASA Winter 2021 Special Session for Hackathon December 2021: Accepted abstracts present at ASA Winter 2021 in Seattle, WA (hopefully!)
In 2015, the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders (NIDCD) released two funding opportunity announcements to support the development of hardware and software tools that could be readily reconfigured by the research
community to enable new basic psychophysical research studies, encourage studies with novel acoustic processing algorithms, and facilitate the translation of the results of these studies into applications for hearing aids, cochlear implants, and consumer electronics
devices. Several research groups (including several small businesses and institutions) are now funded through this opportunity to develop these tools using Open Source principles. In this special session, one of the funded research groups will provide a tutorial
on the Tympan platform and challenge the community to use it in their research to spur innovation in the field.
