This equipment proposal will support NSERC-funded research programs and collaborations that are working to understand the development of speech communication during infancy. The hardware and software requested will be used to create an integrated multi-measure research station to study speech perception and production processes. This station will be implemented with existing equipment to integrate behavioural and physiological data and also with new instrumentation for measuring eye movements (requested in this proposal). The important feature of the new station is the capacity to record diverse behavioral and physiological events in synchrony with the same time stamp and to access these data streams for analysis in an integrated way. With the new research station it will be easy to examine moment-to-moment correspondences within and between behavioural (e.g. audio, visual, eye movements) and physiological measures (e.g. heart rate, respiration, brain activity). This tool is useful for investigating speech perception and production processes which involve complex and coordinated vocal, behavioural, social, and physiological processes. With the ability to work with multiple data streams in an integrated way we can also explore speech perception and production processes of a dyad engaged in face-to-face interaction. Our research team will implement this research station to study infant speech perception and production processes in controlled experiments as well as in more naturalistic situations (e.g. mother-infant interaction).

该设备提案将支持NSERC资助的研究项目和合作，这些项目和合作旨在了解婴儿期语音通信的发展。 所要求的硬件和软件将用于建立一个综合多测量研究站，以研究语音感知和产生过程。 该监测站将使用现有设备来整合行为和生理数据，并使用新仪器来测量眼球运动（本建议书中要求）。 新台站的重要特点是能够以相同的时间戳同步记录各种行为和生理事件，并以综合方式访问这些数据流进行分析。 有了新的研究站，就可以很容易地检查行为（例如听觉、视觉、眼球运动）和生理测量（例如心率、呼吸、大脑活动）内部和之间的每时每刻的对应关系。 这个工具是有用的研究语音感知和生产过程，涉及复杂和协调的声音，行为，社会和生理过程。 有了以综合方式处理多个数据流的能力，我们还可以探索面对面互动中的二元体的语音感知和生产过程。 我们的研究团队将实施这个研究站，在受控实验以及更自然的情况下（例如母婴互动）研究婴儿的言语感知和产生过程。
