Sound-Field Laboratory Core

声场实验室（SFL）核心为各种声学和 由NIH/NIDCD和其他资助机构支持的心理声学研究。SFL成立了 通过波士顿大学听力研究中心和健康学院的共同努力， 康复科学在BU提供一个独特的跨学科声学研究设施， 服务于波士顿及周边地区的听觉研究社区。SFL由几个 组件：最初，购买了一个大型的声音衰减lAC展位，并进行了修改，以允许不同的 以受控方式产生的声音混响程度，范围从高反射到近回声。 除了有形设施外，还提供了技术专门知识，以协助一系列用户， 在这个独特的空间设计和实施研究。通过过去核心中心提供的支持 获得这些奖项后，SFL的能力得到了显著提高，并涵盖了广泛的服务， 现场和非现场用户，包括声学记录和分析、软件和硬件 发展和其他各种科学支持服务。如记录所示， 由于各种用户的成就，SFL已经满足了许多用户群体的研究需求， 波士顿大学和该地区的一般，包括几个学术和其他机构。该设施的目的是促进合作和跨学科的研究继续，并在过去的支持期间取得了相当大的成功。总体目标是通过提供独特的设施、设备和支持服务，以有效和具有成本效益的方式为广泛的研究项目提供支持，避免研究能力的昂贵重复，并允许开展成本太高的项目，或者如果没有SFL的支持，根本不可能开展项目。

The Sound Field Laboratory (SFL) core provides infrastructure support for a wide range of acoustics and psychoacoustlcs studies supported by NIH/NIDCD and other funding agencies. The SFL was established through a joint effort by the Boston University Hearing Research Center and the College of Health and Rehabilitation Sciences at BU to provide a unique interdisciplinary acoustics research facility that would serve the auditory research community within Boston and surrounding areas. The SFL consists of several components: initially, a large sound-attenuating lAC booth was purchased and modified to permit varying degrees of sound reverberation to be produced in a controlled manner ranging from highly reflective to nearanechoic. In addition to the physical facility, technical expertise was provided to assist a range of users in designing and implementing studies in this unique space. Through support provided by past core center awards, the capabilities ofthe SFL have increased significantly and encompass a wide range of services to users both on site and off site including acoustic recording and analysis, software and hardware development and a variety of other scientific support services. As indicated by the record ofthe accomplishments of the various users, the SFL has served the research needs of many user groups both at Boston University and in the region generally and include several academic and other institutions. The purpose of the facility to foster collaborative and interdisciplinary research continues and has met with considerable success during the past periods of support. The overall goal is to provide support for a wide range of research projects in an efficient and cost effective manner by providing unique facilities, equipment and support services that avoid costly duplication of research capabilities and allow projects to be undertaken that would be too costly to conduct or literally would not be possible if the SFL support were not available.
