Hi Paul - my background (PhD) is cognitive neuroscience ! But I'm teaching =
in IT and moved into more general health care research. And sound recording=
:) B
ut when I was full-time I also taught multimedia and the 'sound and listeni=
ng' sort of courses you are starting. Great fun and incredibly interesting.=
If you haven't already found them the International Community for Auditory=
Display have some intersting conferences and resources that may be of valu=
e to you.
I was part of this conference concert

(excuse my paper - for complex reasons involving computer crashes the paper=
is an early draft)
and we had great coverage on radio

Anyhow recording the everyday is fascinating and best wishes
