Educating the Humanities for e-science: from cultural heritage to humanities laboratories
Sven Strömqvist Centre for Languages and literature

In this seminar Strömqvist presents the Humanist Laboratory at Lund University as a cross-disciplinary lab-environment for research and education about culture, communication and cognition. The profile is humanistic but the lab is also designed for collaboration with researchers from the medical, natural and technical sciences and consists of an Eye-tracking lab, a (Virtual) Reality lab, an Electrophysiology lab (ERP-measurement), an Acoustics lab with an echo-free chamber, and a Body-tracking lab. Particularly, Stömqvist discussed on-going research in the Tactile Lab that has the world's first automatic finger-tracker which makes it possible to compare visual reading in real-time in sighted persons with tactile reading in real-time in congenitally blind subjects.
