Housed in Lyles-Porter Hall, the Audiology Research Diagnostics Core (ARDC) at Purdue has been created as a collaborative effort to reduce the entry barrier to auditory neuroscience for new and cross-disciplinary investigators. In addition to the listed services our facility offers, we are developing a solution for harmonization and analysis of human and animal subject data across multiple laboratories, as well as large-scale web-based data collection, to investigate trends and comprehensively study hearing pathologies.
