The proposed core includes principal investigators who use computer controlled data acquisition and stimulus generation as well as an array of physiological data collection methodologies from single unit studies to ABRs to EEGs and MEGs. Studies in the laboratories participating in this core involve analysis and synthesis of sound, and computer controlled stimulus presentation and data acquisition. Often the stimuli are highly complex, as, for example, speech, animal vocalizations, and harmonic complexes. Though n recent years when new equipment is being purchased, there are efforts made to improve the compatibility of hardware and software across participating laboratories, significant difficulties associated with different equipment setups, methodologies, transducers, and software still impede smooth collaborations among nvestigators. Many of these can be solved at the software level, still others must be solved at the hardware evel, and some can only be solved by creative software/hardware combinations. The goal of this core is to provide highly experienced and well-qualified computer personnel who will become familiar with the ndividual core laboratories and work to overcome incompatibilities, resolve computer and instrumentation differences across laboratories, and suggest efficient and feasible solutions to intransigent incompatibility problems. Additional core goals are to provide general computer troubleshooting and maintenance assistance to core participants, to provide software and hardware assistance in the development of specialized equipment in the laboratories, and to develop and maintain mechanisms for computer-based communication throughout the Core Center.

拟议的核心包括首席调查员，他们使用计算机控制的数据采集和 刺激产生以及来自单个单元的一系列生理数据收集方法 从ABR到EEG和MEG的研究。参与这一核心的实验室中的研究涉及分析 和声音合成，以及计算机控制的刺激呈现和数据采集。通常情况下 刺激是高度复杂的，例如，语音、动物发声和谐和复合体。尽管 近年来，在购买新设备时，努力提高兼容性 跨参与实验室的硬件和软件，与不同的 设备设置、方法、传感器和软件仍然阻碍 调查员。其中许多问题可以在软件层面上解决，还有一些必须在硬件层面上解决 有些问题只能通过创造性的软件/硬件组合来解决。这个核心的目标是 提供经验丰富、资质良好的计算机人员，他们将熟悉 个人核心实验室，并致力于克服不兼容性，解决计算机和仪器 不同实验室之间的差异，并为顽固的不相容提出有效可行的解决方案 有问题。其他核心目标是提供一般计算机故障排除和维护 向核心参与者提供援助，在开发 实验室中的专用设备，并开发和维护以计算机为基础的机制 在整个核心中心进行沟通。
