Congratulations to Adèle de Baudouin for her first PhD paper dedicated to the visualization of soundscapes in both ecology and music! She proposes a circular time organization of field recordings or music compositions based on spectral similarity analysis. Check out the beautiful chord diagrams she could produce!

Welcome to Lorenzo Dubois!
Lorenzo is a Master student in ecology at the Muséum
National d’Histoire Naturelle. He will work on the labelization (label definition, setting and delimitation) of the soundscape recordings from Ecuador.
New publication in Trends in Hearing!
A new publication led by Christian Lorenzi (ENS Ulm – Paris Sciences et Lettres) about human auditory ecology, in particular about human perception of natural soundscapes. This establish a new bridge between ecoacoustics and human hearing research.
Welcome to Violette Zgraja!
Violette is a student a the design school Ecole Estienne. She will work as a mediation support designer for the project sonosylva, granted by the OFB.
Welcome to Antoine Vansse!
Antoine is a a 5th year student at the ENS Lyon. He is working on tropical soundscape over years in our projet dB@Nouragues.
Welcome to Yann Teytaut!
Yann Teytaut, doctor in Computer Music, is part of the ANR project EARSCAPE, led by the University of Toulouse. He will be involved in deep learning soundscape decomposition.
Welcome to Ludovic Crochard!
Ludovic, doctor in ecology, is in charged of sonosylva, a new national project granted by the OFB. More soon on this project and the work achieved by Ludovic!
Welcome to Léa Mariton!
Welcome to Léa Mariton! Léa will work as a post-doc for one year on a shared project with Yves Bas (CESCO)Alexander Lees (Manchester Metropolitan University). She will work on monitoring tropical populations affected by local fires.
Ecoacoustics and psychoacoustics : new paper in JASA
EAR participated to a new paper making the essential link between ecoacoustics and psychoacoustics. This work, published in the Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, is the first achievement of a great collaboration with the Laboratoire des Systèmes Perceptifs of the ENS headed by Christian Lorenzi. Led by Frédéric Apoux, the psychoacoustic experiments reveal that human listeners can discriminate soundscapes based on 2 second recordings only. This discrimination appear to be based on gross spectral but not temporal cues.
Welcome to Lise Pernel!
Welcome to Lise Pernel! Lise is a Master student at the Université Jean-Monnet, Saint-Etienne, France. She is co-supervised with Sabrina Krief. She will work for the dB@Sebitoli project on chimpanze acoustic behaviour and ecology. Welcome!
