Lab Computing Core

此核心的目的是通过提供以下内容来加速BTNRH正在进行的研究 与实验室相关的开发、维护、故障排除和咨询服务 硬件和软件。构成这一研究基础的大多数研究项目 核心要求呈现和/或获取数字化波形。其中一些研究 项目会对相同的听觉产生行为、听觉和电生理反应 刺激物。在许多情况下，类似的假设正在使用不同的方法进行评估。 这些研究工作的并行性质产生了相当大的硬件和 软件需求。另一组重叠的研究项目需要为特殊目的提供支持 数据库软件。我们的实验室计算设施，配备了全职技术人员 与个人R01共享，满足研究的许多硬件和软件需求 因此，提高了这些研究项目的生产率。通过保持对…的熟悉 研究基地正在进行的数据获取工作，核心技术人员将确定共同需求 促进调查人员之间的合作互动。实验室计算核心 允许BTNRH保持更高水平的实验室硬件和软件专业知识 如果不是这样，通过各个实验室的独立努力是可能的。这个 这种专业知识的立即可用使我们的研究人员能够更专注于科学 并更有效地开展他们的研究项目。由Core开发的软件 其他机构的研究人员可以免费获得技术人员。

The purpose of this core is to accelerate ongoing research at BTNRH by providing development, maintenance, troubleshooting, and consulting services related to laboratory hardware and software. Most of the research projects that constitute the research base for this core require the presentation and/or acquisition of digitized waveforms. Some of these research projects elicit behavioral, acoustical, and electrophysiological responses for the same auditory stimuli. In many instances, similar hypotheses are being evaluated using different approaches. The parallel nature of these research efforts produces considerable overlap in hardware and software needs. Another overlapping group of research projects requires support for specialpurpose database software. Our Laboratory Computing Facility, staffed by full-time technicians shared with individual R01s, serves many of the hardware and software needs of the research base, thereby enhancing productivity in these research projects. By maintaining familiarity with ongoing data acquisition efforts of the research base, Core technicians will identify common needs and promote a cooperative interaction among investigators. The Laboratory Computing Core allows BTNRH to maintain a higher level of laboratory hardware and software expertise than would otherwise be possible through the independent efforts of individual laboratories. The immediate availability of this expertise allows our investigators to have greater focus on scientific issues and pursue their research projects more efficiently. Software developed by Core technicians is made available to researchers at other institutions at no cost.
