1. 課程說明(course description):
介紹信號處理在音樂、語音、或其他日常生活中聽得到的聲訊中的應用:包含分析與合成兩大部分。學生修
完本課程,應能對這個領域的核心技術、背景觀念有充分理解,並對本領域新研究課題有所接觸,以期激發創
造力,針對有興趣的課題作更深入的實作研究。建議學生須具備撰寫MATLAB或其他程式語言的能力。 (預修
課程: 信號與系統,線性代數, 或由授課老師許可. 亦歡迎有興趣之大學部高年級同學選修)
**本年度將進行翻轉教學。**

To introduce application of signal processing methods in music, language, and
other sounds in daily life, including two major parts: sound analysis and sound
synthesis. After taking this course, students should be familiar with the core
techniques and background knowledge in this field. Also, current research topics
will be selectively covered. Final projects are required and students are
encouraged to be creative. Prerequisite: Signals and Systems, Linear Algebra, or
consent by the instructor. Undergraduates in junior or senior years are also
welcome to take this course.
** This year we will attempt the flipped-classroom learning method **

本學期打算嘗試以實務/專案為導向的教學互動方式。除了MATLAB 的作業以外,我希望全班學會使用 python 的
pyaudio 進行簡單的即時音訊處理程式撰寫,另外還打算引入superCollider 這個電腦音效/音樂的環境來實作互動式
的音效控制。有興趣的同學可以參考以下連結:

4. Teaching methods:
Video viewing at home. Exercise and discussion in class (2 hours/week).

5. Syllabus [tentative]:
Part I (5 weeks): Fourier Transform and applications, estimation problems and solutions
Part II (7 weeks): Music and Speech/voice
Part III (3 weeks): Physiology, psychology, and biomedical applications
This year I plan to accelerate the lectures a little bit and allowing more time for labs and group discussions.
