Lab

The team has a lab on the Psychology School ground floor. The lab has three different recording methods:

A psychophysiological recording unit, Biopac MP150, which is composed of a skin conductance response amplifier GSR-100C, as well as a respiratory control system (pneumograph), a photoplethysmographic amplifier PPG-100C for indirect heart rate recording, and an electromyographic EMG-100C amplifier aimed at registering startle eyeblink reflex.

An EEG recording unit, which is composed of a BrainVisionQuickAmp-72 amplifier, two EEG recording caps (with 32 and 64 electrodes respectively), the software BrainVisionRecorder for the recording and BrainVisionAnalyzer for the posterior analysis of EEG data. Programming and presentation of behavioural tasks are done by using the Superlab and Presentation programs.

An eye-tracking device, D6 Desk-Mounted Optics (ASL Eye-Trac 6), from Applied Science Laboratories, which registers eye fixations on a fixed surface. A PC serves as a user interface with the eye-tracker, and it also records data, both digitally and via video.
