報告人簡介：1967年臺灣清華大學本科畢業后赴美華盛頓大學圣路易斯分校攻讀博士學位；1974年獲得博士學位后，進入華盛頓大學進行博士后研究，目前為美國密蘇里大學哥倫比亞分校生命科學部神經生物學教授。研究方向為蝙蝠的聽覺和回聲定位的神經生理機制，發表研究論文160篇，其中包括在Science, Nature, Journal of Neurophysiology, Journal of Comparative Physiology等多本一流學術刊物的科研成果發表。

報告簡介：In nature, communication sounds among animal species including humans are typical complex sounds that occur in sequence and vary with time in several parameters including amplitude, frequency, duration as well as separation and order of individual sounds. How are the sounds produced, received and deciphered to generate appropriate behavioral response is essential for survival of many animal species in acoustic world. In this presentation, the physics of sound, sound production mechanisms and contribution of outer, middle and inner parts of human ear during sensory transduction of sound stimuli will be discussed. Research data will be presented to highlight the coordination of the vocal and auditory systems during sound production and reception using bats as mammalian model. Modulation of acoustic signal processing and coordination of vocal, auditory and motor systems underlying acoustic-guided orientation will be discussed.
