Cafe Scientifique
Hosted by John Erik Troyer Ph.D.
Cafe Scientifique is a happy hour forum for science and culture hosted by the University of Minnesota's Bell Museum of Natural History. Each month, experts from a variety of fields present cutting-edge research on diverse scientific topics - from the politics of genetic testing, to the possibility of a new flu pandemic.
This month: Human Hearing and the Frog Chorus
U of M professor Mark Bee studies the mechanisms and evolution of acoustic communication in animals. Humans with hearing loss often cannot pick out an individual voice amid background noises, but frogs in a chorus excel at this. What can we learn from their abilities? Could the encroaching sounds of traffic and other human noises be threatening animals' important ability to recognize acoustic signals?
