Computer Assisted Communication Laboratory

Striving for expressive communication

In vocal communication, it is important to convey not only textual information but also psychological information such as emotions, intentions and attitudes. In our laboratory, we gather voice samples, perform acoustic analyses and conduct impression evaluations on the expression and recognition of psychological information. We also analyze the mental states of speakers and listeners with the goal of achieving more expressive forms of communication. The findings we obtain will be used in language learning and to support communication by people with disabilities.
