Database/Software/Infrastructure

Database Utilities: The laboratory uses REDCap to support ongoing and future research. Our database has over 1550 individuals previously characterized in terms of audiometric status, medical and hearing history, and perceptual abilities that is available for retrospective research.  Recruitment may also draw from the USF Audiology clinic and the 5 million people of the greater Tampa area.

Software: The laboratory has extensive custom and commercial software for sound analysis and experimental design including TDT SykofizX (developed by D. Eddins), RPvdsEX, MATLAB, Adobe Audition, and EASERATM. The laboratory is actively engaged in hearing industry research as well as NIH-, DoD, NSF- funded research with normal hearing, hearing impaired, and elderly subjects.

Campus Research Network (CRN): The CRN provides campus research laboratories high-speed connectivity to centralized USF High Performance Computing (HPC) facilities to enable scientific data-driven experimental work and to enable the analysis of extremely large data sets. The CRN is a dedicated 100 Gb/s secure-perimeter network directly connecting the USF Health Informatics Institute, the ANT Lab, and the Neurophysiological Laboratory to central USF HPC resources. High performance data transfer nodes (capable of sustaining over 100 Gb/s read/write from/to disk throughput) are installed near the HPC resources as well as the ANT Lab to facilitate high-speed data transfers, allowing for data transferred to the cluster for analysis to be immediately available to all compute nodes. University Level Research Computing currently provides access to 550 compute nodes with a total of 6,520 processors. The current aggregated amount of memory on the cluster is 363GB. Research computing also provides access to a Lustre File System (/work) totaling 242TB. This file system is kept separate from a user's traditional home directory in order to achieve the best performance possible. Research Computing also provides users with another file system (/home) for traditional storage needs, totaling 100TB. Research Computing also actively maintains over 100 scientific software packages.
