Most of us use sounds to communicate with each other. Isn’t it amazing how we recognize so many different sounds? The auditory system is a complex and very efficient system that detects sound vibration and brings the information to be processed by our brain. It is the mental processing that makes sense of the sounds. We can identify where the sounds come from because we have two ears on each side of our head. If you want to learn more about hearing and how it is processed by the brain to give it meaning come to our booth!
In our exhibit, faculty and students from the medical school at VTCSOM, physician assistant students from Jefferson College of Health Sciences will show you how the auditory system works and how we identify and recognize the origin of sounds.
The Virginia Tech Carilion School of Medicine and Research Institute joins the basic science, life science, bioinformatics, and engineering strengths of Virginia Tech with the medical practice and medical education experience of Carilion Clinic. The school seats small class sizes of around 42 students each, fostering a rich educational experience. Unique focuses on four value domains - basic sciences, clinical sciences and skills, research, and interprofessionalism - develop physician thought leaders through inquiry, research, and discovery. Virginia Tech Carilion is located in a new biomedical health sciences campus in Roanoke, adjacent to Carilion Clinic and near Carilion Roanoke Memorial Hospital.
