The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) invites you to participate in a short survey about your
interaction with the ARDC and use of our national research infrastructure and services. The survey will take
approximately 5 minutes and is anonymous. It’s open to anyone who uses our digital research infrastructure
services including Reasearch Link Australia.
We will use the information you provide to improve the national research infrastructure and services we
deliver and to report on user satisfaction to the Australian Government’s National Collaborative Research
Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS) program.
Please take a few minutes to provide your input. The survey closes COB Friday 29 May 2026.

The Voice As A Behavioural Probe Of Patient Functioning In Disorders Of The Central Nervous System
Funder

Funding Amount
$29,255.00
Summary
Health conditions like pain and depression are difficult to measure, yet we can hear in someone’s voice if they are upset or distressed. This study is looking to develop ways the voice can be used to track changes in a patient’s condition. By recording a speech sample and analyzing parts of the signal, we may be able to tell if a drug treatment for depression is working, or if a patient is experiencing less pain after therapy.
An Investigation Of Sound Processing Mechanisms In Auditory Brainstem Circuits.
Funder
National Health and Medical Research Council
Funding Amount
$85,545.00
Summary
The human brain includes components which receive certain nerve signals from the ear which allow an individual to listen to speech while ignoring background noise. The current bionic ear does not accurately re-create these signals. This project is aimed at improving the bionic ear by using mathematical models to understand the way our brains process sounds.
