The undergraduate computer facility is being equipped to improve laboratory experiences and enhance independent undergraduate research. Student interested in perceptual phenomena were previously limited to investigating visual phenomena. With the acquisition of new equipment, students are now able to investigate a wide range of auditory phenomena as well, including voice identification, speech and music analysis, and pitch discrimination. The equipment is a combination of a McIntosh computer, Farallon's MacRecorder and MacLaboratory. Students can store sound stimuli in digitized form within the computer and then analyze or manipulate the sounds. They can conduct auditory discrimination experiments as well as a variety of other cognitive experiments. The equipment is being used in a number of courses, but predominantly in the sensation and perception course, the experimental methodology course, and independent undergraduate research. Demonstrations and auditory experiments resulting from this project will have a large pedagogical impact on other institutions which lack sophisticated audition laboratories. The college will contribute an amount equal to the award.

本科生的计算机设施正在配备，以改善实验室体验和加强独立的本科生研究。对知觉现象感兴趣的学生以前仅限于研究视觉现象。随着新设备的购置，学生现在也能够研究广泛的听觉现象，包括语音识别、语音和音乐分析以及音调辨别。该设备由一台麦金托什计算机、法拉隆的MacRecorder和MacLab.学生可以将声音刺激以数字化的形式存储在计算机中，然后分析或处理声音。他们可以进行听觉辨别实验以及各种其他认知实验。该设备被用于许多课程，但主要用于感觉与感知课程、实验方法论课程和独立本科生研究。该项目产生的演示和听觉实验将对其他缺乏先进的听力实验室的机构产生重大的教学影响。学院将捐赠相当于该奖项的金额。
