The LAE Labs are made up of four physical labs and three virtual labs. Certain labs are more or less appropriate for different kinds of research.
Phonetics Lab
The Phonetics Lab maintains equipment for recording speech, performing various kinds of acoustic analyses, and also includes ultrasound equipment. You can use the PCs and Macs in here and borrow fieldwork equipment.
Tracker Lab
The Tracker Lab contains a remote eye tracking system (SMI RED250) used for experimental research on language comprehension and production.
Child Language Acquisition
The Acquisition Lab has a child-friendly atmosphere for observing children's language behaviors. It houses equipment for conducting research using the preferential looking research.
SLAB
SLAB is a space for conducting experimental research on language learning and processing. SLAB has been optimized to provide a quiet place for collecting data from human participants in a variety of experimental paradigms. The lab is equipped with three sound-attenuated booths containing PC computers, as well as several PC workstations.
Psycholinguistics
The Psycholinguistics Lab provides facilities for laboratory-, web-, and field-based research on how language is produced, comprehended, and learned as a first or second language. Its equipment is housed across the physical spaces of the LAE labs, such as the SMI RED250 eye tracker in the Tracker lab.
Sociolinguistics
The Sociolinguistics Lab is a virtual lab that focuses on investigating socially conditioned variation in the production and perception of speech. It also houses SOLIS, the Sociolinguistics Server, home of an on-going project to document speech and make it readily analyzable to students, faculty, and visiting researchers at UHM.
Elena Indjieva Language Documentation Virtual Lab
The Language Documentation Virtual Lab is housed in the Phonetics Lab and has two components. The first of these is a collection of portable fieldwork equipment that students may check out and bring with them into the field. The second component of the Language Documentation Virtual Lab is a suite of professional-quality digitization equipment that is shared with the Kaipuleohone University of Hawaii Digital Language Archive.
