MRI: Acquisition of Equipment for a Face-to-Face Interaction Laboratory for Studying Cognitive, Neurocognitive, Social Cognitive, and Emotional Aspects of Human Communication

这项建议来自埃普科尔州的MSI机构，开发了一个面对面的互动室，以提高在自然主义社会语言学互动研究中可用的分析精确度。这项研究的目的是更好地量化欺骗的认知、生理和行为相关性，以及发现欺骗的能力。针对未被充分研究的国土安全需求(面谈在一对一和集体面谈中发现欺骗的能力)，这项工作特别寻求设计培训方法，训练人们更好地在面谈中发现欺骗，以及有助于面试者发现欺骗的自动量化措施。在研究视觉注意力方面，PI将在采访和对话的背景下，对欺骗的认知和神经关联以及欺骗检测进行实验研究。他们将研究脑电与执行功能和融洽发展的相关性，研究编码视频以检测与欺骗相关的非言语语言，以及使用潜在语义分析研究欺骗与语言使用的相关性。更广泛的影响：在当今社会不确定的环境中，这个少数群体服务机构与当前的国家优先事项保持一致，解决国土安全问题。该实验室还将用于培训学生进行多模式语言理解的研究。

This proposal, from a MSI institution in an EPCoR state, develops a face-to-face interaction room to enable improving the degree of analytical precision available in studies of naturalistic sociolinguistic interaction. The research aims at better quantifying the cognitive, physiological, and behavioral correlates of both deception, and the ability to detect deception. Addressing an understudied Homeland Security need (the ability of interviews to detect deception in one-on-one and group interviews), the work specifically seeks to design Training methods, to train humans to better detect deception in interviews, and Automatic quantitative measures that may aid an interviewer in detecting deception.Studying visual attention, PIs will conduct experimental studies of cognitive and neural correlates of deception, and of deception detection, in the context of interviews and conversations. They will study EEG correlates of executive function and rapport development, coded video to detect nonverbal language associated with deception, and language-use correlates of deception using latent semantic analysis. Broader Impact: Consistent with current national priorities in today's climate of social uncertainty, this minority serving institution addresses issues in homeland security. The lab will also be used to train students to conduct research into multi-modal language understanding.
