Research Activities:
\My research projects aim at understanding and controlling the influence of sounds on human behavior and to understand how sounds are perceived in the presence of other sensory modalities.
\
They are based on a multidisciplinary approach that associates the analysis and synthesis of sounds with human perception and cognition.
Research fields:
\PRISM Axis:
\Engineering of perception

\Teaching Activities:
\Co-founder of the Master in \'93Acoustics and Musicology\'94 in which I give courses on timbre, sound synthesis and control. \'a0
\Biogaphy:
\S\'f8lvi Ystad received her degree as a civil engineer in electronics from NTH (Norges Tekniske H\'f8gskole), Trondheim, Norway in 1992 and her Ph.D. degree in acoustics from the University of Aix-Marseille II, France, in 1998. After a postdoctoral stay at Stanford University, California, she obtained a researcher position at the French National Research Center (CNRS). Since January 2017 she works at the laboratory PRISM (Perception, Representations, Image, Sound, Music) Marseilles, France. Her research activities are related to sound modeling with a special emphasis on the identification of perceptually relevant sound structures to conceive intuitive user interfaces for controlling synthesized sounds.
