Equipment

The Cognitive Systems Lab has the following equipment available for investigating human sensory and cognitive processes:

  • Stationary 64-channel EEG system (ActiChamp, BrainProducts) with extensions for peripheral-physiological signals
  • Mobile 24-channel EEG system (Smarting, EasyCap)
  • Stationary eyetracker (Eyelink-1000, SR Research)
  • Active motion-tracking system (Optotrak, NDI)
  • Binaural sound pressure level meter (Brüel & Kjær)
  • Two electromagnetically shielded, double-wall sound booths (IAC)
  • Computer-based stimulation and measurement system for precise recording of behavioral (e.g. response times) and physiological data (e.g. EEG)
