Workshops associated to the 20th Annual ECS Conference in Gdynia Title: Electrophysiological Measures of Hearing in Marine Mammals Date: Sunday, 2nd April Time and place: The whole day workshop will be held at the Conference Centre (Music Theatre, Gdynia) Organizers: Michel Andre (Laboratory of Applied Bioacoustics, Technical University of Catalonia, Spain) and Paul Nachtigall (Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology, USA) Max. attendance: 100 people Registration: For those wishing to attend or offer a talk at this workshop, please contact Michel André (michel.andre@upc.edu) or Paul Nachtigall (nachtiga@hawaii.edu). There is limited space available and attendance will be on a first come, first serve basis, so you should contact us soon to reserve a place. The deadline for offers of talks is 1st March. A programme will be posted to attendees by 18th March, by which time all applications to attend should be received. Background and objectives: Non invasive electrophysiological methods allow the assessment of hearing of any particular marine mammal to determine, through the analysis of the audiogram, its capacities to correctly use its habitat. This workshop aims to present and discuss the latest electrophysiological techniques to measure hearing in marine mammals. The morning session will be devoted to cetaceans while the afternoon will discuss the use of this technique on pinnipeds.
