Audio recording and editing

Human subjects protocols

Much of the research in the Phonology Lab involves human subjects and requires approval from the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects. Here is some guidance on how to clear this administrative hurdle.

Speech production

Speech perception

The Lab maintains a database of volunteer subjects who have indicated an interest in participating in our experiments. Contact Ronald Sprouse if you are denied access to this database.

OpenSesame is one the standard software package for conducting perception experiments.

Guidance for wiki editors

There are two ways to access this wiki -- read-only guest access and read/write access for Calnet authenticated users. Gaining read/write access is a two-step process. First, provide Calnet credentials when accessing the base url (contact Ronald Sprouse if access is denied), then follow the wiki's login link to log in as a wiki user. You cannot edit the wiki unless you are logged in as a wiki user; Calnet authentication is not enough.

Remember that read-only access to this wiki is provided to the public. Do not include confidential information!

Consult the User's Guide for information on using the wiki software.
