Software and Hardware Instrument Development and Computer Hardware for Bioacoustic Research

该研究小组建议为生物声学研究社区开发，分发和支持基于计算机的仪器。这包括进一步开发CANARY（前一个资助期内生产的软件包），模拟到数字采集硬件，以及康奈尔大学设计和生产的数字信号处理硬件。这些组件将被集成到一个功能齐全，用户友好的生物声学信号分析工作站上的Macintosh计算机。该系统提供了一个强大的环境，由一个活跃的，跨学科的科学家小组在动物交流，人类语音和信号处理方面具有广泛的专业知识，特别强调语音通信和感知进行生物声学的先进研究。

This research group proposes to develop, distribute and support computer-based instrumentation for the bioacoustics research community. This includes further development of CANARY (the software package produced during the previous funding period), analog to digital acquisition hardware, and digital signal processing hardware designed and produced at Cornell. These components will be integrated into a fully functional, user-friendly bioacoustics signal analysis workstation on a Macintosh computer. This system provides a powerful environment for advanced research in bioacoustics conducted by an active, interdisciplinary group of scientists with a broad spectrum of expertise in animal communication, human speech, and signal processing, with particular emphasis on vocal communication and perception.
