The research from the MAD Research Lab (Multiple Aspects
of Discourse) serves to test, model and evaluate linguistic
and paralinguistic modalities of discourse, including text,
speech, eye gaze, intonation and gestures.
The lab has two high-end eye tracking systems available as
well as a multimedia recording studio to monitor various modalities.
The research we conduct is focused on sentence and discourse
processing (including interclausal relationships and other
types of cohesion and coherence), processing deictic expressions
and gestures, as well as the interaction and alignment of
facial expressions, eye gaze, intonation, discourse structure
and theme/rheme (notably in the context of the iMAP
project).
Since its creation in August 2004, the lab is directed by
Dr. Max Louwerse
and located in the FedEx
Institute of Technology. It is part of the
Institute for Intelligent Systems, a multidisplinary research
center related to the
Department of psychology and Department
of computer sciences at the
University of Memphis.
For more information you might want to consult the biography
of the lab as well as our past
and present
events.
