Graduate Research Degrees
The Division of Psychology and Language Sciences undertakes world-leading research
and teaching in mind, behaviour and language. It brings together researchers in a range
of disciplines such as cognition, neuroscience, linguistics, education, communication,
medicine, health, phonetics and development - to understand both basic and applied problems.
Our work attracts staff and students from around the world. Together, they create an
outstanding and vibrant environment for both study and research, taking advantage of
cutting-edge resources such as a behavioural neuroscience laboratory, a centre for brain
imaging, and extensive laboratories for research in speech and language, perception and
cognition. Our research is funded by by UK Research Councils, charities such as the Wellcome
Trust, government departments, the EU and the NHS.

 CochSim is a dynamic simulation of the time and frequency analysis performed by the ear.
Sound signals such as sinewaves, pulse trains, sawtooth waves and vowels can be fed into an
auditory filterbank and the output monitored in a moving animated display. The program shows the
vibration of the oval window and the basilar membrane, the haircell activity against filter
frequency and time, and an average excitation pattern across the cochlea.
 EFxHist is a program to analyse joint speech and laryngograph recordings. EFxHist locates each pitch period in the laryngograph waveform and produces statistical analyses including distributions of fundamental frequency, closed-quotient, jitter and shimmer.
 Prorec is a free Windows PC program for prompting speakers with lists of words or sentences and recording their speech back to disk.
