Z2

Support and IT Maintenance

Z2 was a central service project supporting the research projects in the SFB 833 in applying experimental methods and in information technology issues. As regards experimentation, the SFB researchers benefitted from advice and support when testing hypotheses on human language processing, comprehension or production. Z2 accompanied colleagues in planning, designing, implementing and carrying out experiments, as well as in statistical data analysis and in the reporting of findings. IT maintenance covered system administration and laboratory management.
