Bioengineering Core

生物工程核心将支持P30研究人员和合作研究人员，提供用户项目所需的工程和软件专业知识，并维护OHRC听觉脑干反应(ABR)、失真产物耳声发射(DPOAE)和声音暴露设施。P30工程师将设计和制造定制的电子和机械设备，以解决实验和数据采集问题。P3D程序员将编写计算机软件来满足用户的实验需求。工程师和程序员开展的项目将扩大核心用户的资助工作，并促进用户之间的协作研究。P30工作人员将帮助创建通用数据库，以便在用户之间共享实验数据并实现更安全的数据备份。核心员工还就计算机、仪器和软件的规格和购买向教员提供建议。

The Bioengineering Core will support P30 investigators and collaborating investigators, providing engineering and software expertise needed in the projects of the users, and maintaining the OHRC auditory-brainstem-response (ABR), distortion-product otoacoustic emission (DPOAE), and sound exposure facilities. The P30 Engineer will design and build custom electronic and mechanical devices that solve experimental and data-acquisition problems. The P3d Programmer will write computer software to address the experimental needs of the users. Projects undertaken by the Engineer and Programmer will extend the funded work of the Core users and stimulate collaborative studies among users. The P30 staff will help create common databases that would allow sharing of experimental data among users and enable more secure data backup. Core staff also advise faculty on specification and purchase of computers, instrumentation, and software.
