The Acoustic Change Complex

This course will examine current research involving the acoustic change complex (ACC) and place this response in the context of what is known regarding the P1-N1-P2 complex elicited by sound onset. The nature of the ACC, its role in auditory processing and its potential value as a tool for translational research will be examined. In addition, discussion of how the ACC complements other neurophysiologic indices of acoustic change processing such as mismatch negativity and P3 will be included. Students will propose a research project involving the ACC. In addition, students will gain experience in recording and analyzing the ACC via a class exercise.
