Welcome to Haskins Laboratories

Haskins Laboratories is a private, non-profit research laboratory founded in 1935, and named after its founder, Dr. Caryl P. Haskins. The Haskins Laboratories have been continuously engaged in interdisciplinary basic research for over fifty years. Under its previous Presidents, Dr. Franklin S. Cooper (1955-1975), Dr. Alvin Liberman (1975-1986), and Dr. Michael Studdert-Kennedy (1986-1992), the Laboratories did pioneering work on the acoustics of speech, the development of speech synthesis and its application to the study of speech perception. This commitment to state-of-the-art research continues under our present President, Dr. Carol A. Fowler.

We are located in Connecticut and are affiliated with Yale University and the University of Connecticut. Many of our research associates have academic positions at other universities including Wesleyan, CUNY, URI, The Hebrew University, and others. We also have a cooperative agreement with the ATR Research Laboratories in Kyoto, Japan. Currently, most of the Laboratories' research projects are focused on problems in human communication. Our main areas of research include speech perception, synthesis and analysis, speech production, motor behavior, linguistics, phonetics, reading, cognitive science, ecological psychology, nonlinear dynamics and complexity, etc.
