Welcome to HCSNetWelcome to HCSNet, the ARC Network in Human Communication ScienceHCSNet supports and promotes interdisciplinary research in speech, language, and sonics in Australia. We connect researchers across disciplines via workshops and seminars, and we support interdisciplinary graduate training and exchanges. The Network aims to build Australia's reputation as a leader in communication science and technology via advances in our Priority Areas: Speech, Effective Human-Computer Interfaces, Next Generation Search Technology, Human Communication Disorders, and Human and Machine Perception and Action. Being a member of HCSNet means you can apply for funding to attend HCSNet events, and gets you our weekly electronic newsletter, HCSNet Update. Becoming a member is easy, and it's free: if you work, study, do research or just have an interest in the human communication sciences, join up by clicking on the 'create new account' link on the left-hand side of the page. Welcome to the first HCSNet Update Newsletter for the year!Wednesday, 3rd February 2010
For our new readers, we'd like to remind you that HCSNet Update is a weekly electronic publication of HCSNet, distributed to national and international participants. Each issue contains a member spotlight feature to inform members about research interests and current projects of colleagues in the Network; announcements of interest to the community; and a listing of upcoming conference and workshop deadlines drawn from HCSNet's events database. Contributions to HCSNet Update are welcomed (email to newsletter@hcsnet.edu.au Call for Papers - HCSNet Workshop: Advances in Speech Production: Tools, Techniques and Recent ResearchWednesday, 3rd February 2010
The ARC Human Communication Sciences Network (HCSNet) is holding a workshop to introduce and describe the function of some of the tools used in speech production research, e.g., EMA, NDI WAVE system; Optical motion capture, Ultrasound, Electropalatograph (EPG), Electroglottograph (EGG). This two-day workshop will be held on at MARCS Auditory Laboratories, University of Western Sydney and will provide hands on demonstrations of how such technology is being used to explore the intricacies of both speech production and perception. The meeting will include keynote addresses by international and national leaders in the field, including: ERIC VATIKIOTIS-BATESON, U British Columbia (Canada), Linguistics Department and Cognitive Systems Program Recording and analysis of talking faces and vocal tract articulators. DOUGLAS WHALEN, Haskins Laboratories, Director/Founder of the Endangered Language Fund (U.S.A.) Ultrasound investigation of speech articulation dynamics. MARK TIEDE, Haskins Laboratories, MIT (U.S.A.) Electro-Magnetic Articulometry (EMA) examination and analysis of tongue-lip-jaw dynamics during speech. ANDY BUTCHER, Department of Speech Pathology and Audiology, Flinders University, Electropalatograph (EPG). This event is aimed toward higher degree research students, postdoctoral fellows, and established researchers in speech sciences, phonetics and psycholinguistics whose research includes study speech production, and/or who want to incorporate into their research toolbox one or more of these cutting edge technologies for investigating the multi-faceted and multi-modal dynamics of human speech.
