Methods and equipment

 

Our lab focuses mostly on using the electroencephalography (EEG), psychophysical methods and eye-tracking systems. These are suitable for laboratory observations of fast mental processes like movement, fast presentations or changes, and automatic change detection known as mismatch negativity. Traditional psychology methods such as questionnaires, behavioural experiments and experience sampling methodology are also in practice.

In addition to EEG (BioSemi), our laboratory is equipped with a 24-channel fNIRS (Hitachi) system for measuring brain’s metabolic activity, EyeLink 1000 and Tobii X60 eye tracking systems. We also measure other physiological signals such as the galvanic skin response, pulse rate and muscle electrical activity (EMG).
