Message from the Director


Welcome to MARCS Auditory Laboratories, a University of Western Sydney Research Centre for pure and applied research on auditory perception and cognition with particular focus on the significant domains of speech, and music, and the related areas of human movement and communication, auditory processes, hearing & hearing impairment, gesture, dance and emotion.

At MARCS we emphasise laboratory-based experimental psychology methods (and have close ties with the UWS School of Psychology) and apply these to interdisciplinary research in national and international academic and industry collaborations.

Themes and projects in the MARCS Research Areas of Speech and Language; Music, Sound and Action; Hearing and Auditory Processes; and Infant Studies are provided in the links to the right; while details of our many state-of-the-art Research Labs; and our collective range of Research Expertise are provided under the Research link above.

MARCS is a vibrant research environment for research staff, visiting collaborators, and research students with excellent equipment and facilities, plus conference and field work funding to postgraduate student applicants.
