This paper addresses some of the specificities of perception research in the field. Fieldwork preparation and experimental design, as well as more technical aspects of this type of phonetic research, are reviewed and illustrated with examples taken from the author’s research in Southeast Asia.

We show how to use experiments over finite fields to gain information about the solution set of polynomial equations in characteristic zero.

Online behavioral data, such as digital traces from social media, have the potential to allow researchers an unprecedented new window into human behavior in ecologically valid everyday contexts. However, research using data is often purely observational, which limits its usefulness for identifying causal relationships. Here we review recent innovations experimental approaches studying online be...
