CSHC - Center for the Study of Human Cognition

CogLab is a facility for the collection of behavioural data. It consists of seven laboratory cells setup for a wide range of cognitive experiment, running e.g. with E-Primeot the PsycToolbox. One cell has a tachistoscope with a precision of 1 ms exposure, allowing for well controlled studies of visual stimuli like subliminal priming. This room is also shielded against radiowaves to allow for a controlled psychophysiology environment with equipment to record EMG, ESR, and EEG. One cell is set up with an IView eyetracker for studies involving eye gaze, eye movements and pupillary responses.

The laboratory has a 12 PC workspace for students and assistants, and two meeting rooms used for teaching purposes ranging from introductory courses in experimental psychology to advanced courses in programming, statistics and experimental training.

The laboratory supports projects related to the study of attention, memory, problem solving and emotional responses to a diversity of stimuli. A small electronic workshop for production of visual and auditive stimuli is linked to the laboratory.
