Specialization “Acoustic monitoring, bio- and psychoacoustics” is primarily devoted to solving the problems of the emergence, transmission and perception of sounds. It includes musical acoustics, which studies the creation of musical sounds (acoustics of musical instruments, acoustics of speech and singing, electroacoustics); the transmission of sounds (architectural acoustics, audio coding in transmission channels) and the perception of sound (psychoacoustics – acoustics of hearing). As part of psychoacoustics, students learn fundamentally new ways of working with sound through computer music technology; develop acoustic systems, create new means of transmitting spatial sound information for digital broadcasting, television, and sound recording.
Much attention is paid to computer modeling of human hearing and speech systems as the basis for the development of new generations of hearing aids and hearing aids. In addition, students review current and highly sought-after modern noise reduction methods in cities, study noise and vibration sources, exposure to noise on the human body, technical, sanitary and environmental noise regulations, acoustic environmental monitoring and acoustic expertise. Not all aspects of bioacoustics are left out of the question, namely: studying the voice of animals, marine bioacoustics, echolocators of bats and dolphins, protection of airplanes from birds by sound, protection from rodents through ultrasound.
Graduates work in institutions for the development and maintenance of acoustic medical equipment (diagnostic ultrasound devices (U.S.), hearing aids (almost all diagnostic centers of Kiev)); concert halls, theaters, recording studios (for example, sound engineers at film studios, theaters), TV channels (M1, STB, ICTV); in the design departments for the analysis of acoustic and vibrational properties of materials (State Research Institute of Building Structures).
BIOACCUSIC studies:
ways of sound communication between living beings;
– the mechanisms of the formation and reproduction of sounds that are generated by living beings;
– the principles of coding and decoding information transmitted in living bioacoustic systems
PSYCHOACUSSTYK studies:
– psychological and physiological features of perception of sound by a person;
– ways of deciphering one or another sound image by the auditory system of a person;
– the main correspondences between physical stimuli and auditory sensations;
– the parameters of the sound signal, the most important for the transmission of the content and emotions of the message
At the stage of undergraduate and master’s studies, students study basic academic disciplines (mathematics, physics, mechanics, computer science, programming, engineering and computer graphics, disciplines of the humanities, etc.), as well as professionally-oriented disciplines of acousto-electronic profile (theory of electric circuits, bases electronics, theory of processes and systems, theoretical basis of acoustics, applied acoustics, analog and digital circuit engineering, electroacoustic transducers, measurements on sound and ultrasound s frequencies etc.).
Students study methods and algorithms for processing acoustic signals and images, mathematical and virtual simulation, as well as designing acoustic devices and systems. Considerable attention is paid to the design of ultrasonic computer systems of introscopy and tomography, measuring and diagnostic devices, the development of acoustic equipment, equipment for home and professional sound recording studios, and so on.
Not only a large number of scientific publications, reports at international scientific conferences and a number of patents for the invention testify to the high professional level of the teachers of the department of acoustics and acoustoelectronics. The specialists of the department of acoustics and acoustoelectronics have, in practice, solved a considerable number of complex scientific and technical tasks, in particular by implementing acoustic projects in the halls of the Verkhovna Rada, in the Mariinsky Palace, in the Presidential Administration, in the Cabinet, in the Ministry of Transport Club, in the Nizhyn Drama Theater, in the House of Creative Unions and other institutions.
