Perceptual Science Laboratory
- Perceptual Science Laboratory
The Perceptual Science Laboratory (PSL), housed in the Psychology Department at the University of California, Santa Cruz, is site for the experimental study of a variety of theoretical and applied topics within the perceptual and speech sciences [cite web |url=http://mambo.ucsc.edu/psl/dwm/ |title=Perceptual Science Lab|accessdate=2008-07-17] . It is directed by Dominic W. Massaro, Professor of Psychology and Computer Engineering at UCSC. Major topics of investigation in the PSL include the study and development of embodied conversational agents, the fuzzy logical model of perception, and the use of computer-assisted speech and language tutors. Of particular note, the PSL is birthplace and home to Baldi, an extremely accurate animated talking head, developed by lab director Massaro and his colleague Michael Cohen.
