Social sciences opens new anechoic research facility
- October 19, 2011
- Facility is available for use by faculty pursuing auditory research
The School of Social Sciences Anechoic Facility opened in fall 2011 as a shared school
resource for use by all faculty who have an interest in auditory research. The facility
includes a large (12.5′x12.5′x7′ interior) acoustically isolated RF-shielded chamber
for free-field research and a second smaller RF-shielded steel booth for research
using headphones. The facility has access to state-of-the-art equipment including
a harmonizer, function generators, oscilloscopes, mixers/equalizers, amplifiers, ABR
setup (auditory brainstem recording) and research-quality vocal microphones and headphones.
The facility is managed by UCI cognitive sciences professors Bruce Berg, Greg Hickok, Virginia Richards and Kourosh Saberi whose primary areas of expertise include hearing, speech and language.
To learn more about the facility, or to request time for use, visit http://faculty.sites.uci.edu/anechoic/ or email anechoic@uci.edu.
