Location:
Speech Science Lab is located on the 2nd floor of the Sir Charles Tupper Medical Building in Room 2C45. Research assistants and graduate students conduct research in this room when they are not collecting speech-production data elsewhere and is the primary location for speech-perception research. The lab houses a double-walled IAC audiometric test room suitable for speech-perception and psychoacoustics experiments and which is also used for audio speech recording.
