<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">This
event is for researchers, graduate students, and clinicians interested in
learning more about the LENA (<b>L</b>anguage
<b>EN</b>vironment <b>A</b>nalysis) technology. LENA Pro was specifically designed for
researchers, speech language pathologists, audiologists, early interventionists,
and pediatricians, creating the ability to easily collect, process, and analyze
language environment and development data for young children.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">The
morning portion of this workshop will provide an introduction to the LENA Pro
Technology and the LENA Research Foundation’s ongoing research There will be
several scientific presentations from researchers in the UK who are currently
using LENA. This session will assume no prior knowledge of the technology. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">The
afternoon ADEX session will be a more in-depth explanation of how the audio
segmentation occurs in the software as well as how to do more complex data
analysis. It is most appropriate for those already using LENA, those who are planning
on using it in the near future, or those who desire more detailed information
as to how the LENA system’s algorithms segment and label the audio sources
found in the audio file.</span></p>
