On November 3rd,
Neal F. Viemeister, PhD, emeritus professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Minnesota passed away peacefully in his home. Over his 40-year career, Viemeister created a renowned psychoacoustics research program that advanced our understanding of how humans process changes in auditory intensity and timing. Findings from his lab contributed to a better understanding of hearing impairment, speech processing for hearing aids, and the perception of speech and music. Viemeister was a world leader in auditory psychophysics and a fellow of the Acoustical Society of America, which awarded him the Silver Medal in Psychological and Physiological Acoustics for his lifetime achievements.
