Cognition Research Lab
This Lab is specialised in the research methods of modern cognitive and perceptual psychology. We carry out behavioural experiments on the computer, where we assess stimuli and measure their response times. We also use various psychophysiological measurements.
Technical Equipment
Eye tracking
Eye tracking is a method for measuring a test person's eye movements, for instance to analyse perceptual processes, attention control, etc.
- 3 stationary eye trackers: (1, 2) EyeLink 1000 SR Research Ltd., Desktop Mount, (3) EyeLink 1000 Plus SR Research Ltd., Desktop Mount.
- 1 mobile eye tracker: SMI Eye Tracking Glasses 2W.
EEG (electroencephalogram), EMG (electromyogram), EOG (electrooculogram) and EDA (electrodermal activity) measurements
Electrophysiological methods can, for instance, be used to measure brain activity (EEG) and emotional reactions (EDA, facial EMG).
- 1 stationary amplifier: Refa8 32-channel amplifier, TMSi.
- 8 mobile recording devices: Mobi8-BP 12-channel amplifiers, TMSi.
- 1 USB 16-channel biosignal amplifier: g.USBamp, g.tec (in cooperation with SCAN-Unit).
- 1 fMRT compatible full-band DC EEG system: eldith NeuroPrax MR, neuroConn (in cooperation with SCAN-Unit).
- Active electrodes: actiCap, Brain Products.
3D facial imaging
Three-dimensional models of a test person's face can be created and edited on the computer.
- 1 Di3D 3D face camera FTP001, Dimensional Imaging Ltd.
Behavioural measurements
These laboratories enable computer-aided traditional psychological experiments.
- 7 behavioural labs (equipped for parallel tests of 2 to 6 people).
- 20 PCs.
- Button boxes to measure response times in the ms range Cedrus, RB-740, PST Serial Response Box.
- 1 voice key to measure response times via acoustic signals.
- 1 colorimeter i1Pro, X-Rite.
