LISA is the first humanities laboratory to host a multi-user center on the USP Multi platform.

The Laboratory of Image and Sound in Anthropology (LISA) is a pioneer in the humanities for hosting a multi-user equipment center on the USP multi-platform. Administered by the USP Dean of Research and Innovation, the platform allows centers or laboratories with high-cost or technically complex equipment to register and promote shared use by various research groups and institutions. It can also serve private companies and the external community. This model fosters interdisciplinarity and exchange between researchers while expanding access to specialized technologies.

Currently, the USP Multi Platform has over 140 registered centers from five partner institutions: USP, UNESP, UNIFESP, IPEN, and HCFMUSP. LISA stands out among them all as the only center in the humanities to offer specialized services and equipment.

LISA's activities

Affiliated with the Department of Anthropology at FFLCH (DA-FFLCH), LISA is a center for research, documentation, and training in visual and sound anthropology. By hosting a multi-user center, the laboratory expands its role in promoting research excellence, making itself available to collaborate with researchers interested in adding technical quality and value to their projects.

The services and equipment provided by LISA include:

- A 40-seat auditorium with a computer, audio/video receiver, and video projector, which is ideal for meetings, presentations, and conferences.

- Digitization of audio and video files in formats such as VHS, cassette tapes, and DAT, enabling recovery and access to content stored on obsolete media.
