Current Funded Research Projects

* Consonnes: Contrôle de sons naturels et synthétiques (2006-2009) ANR (2006-2008), MDEIE-PSIIRI (2006-2009) MDEIE - Ministère du développement Économique, Innovation et Exportation. A total of CDN $100,000. Prof. Marcelo Wanderley and Dr. Vincent Verfaille

* Enactive Interfaces (VIth Framework Network of Excellence - European Community) (2004-2008) The SPCL is part of the European Community funded Project ENACTIVE Interfaces with the aim of structuring the research on a new generation of human-computer interfaces. Enactive Interfaces are a rather unexplored field of research with a high degree of future potential impact. In order to co-ordinate the development activities in this field, three main sets of objectives are fixed: integration, research and dissemination. Prof. Marcelo M. Wanderley and Prof. Philippe Depalle
