Lab Space

  The lab is located in Burrowes Building room 37 and occupies a 1000 sq. ft space. The space houses equipment for 3 professors, and is used by many research of all levels each semester, including professors, post-doctoral or visiting researchers, graduate students and undergraduate research assistants.

This lab is equipped with 6 Whisper Rooms, 4 sound attenuated behavioral booths and facilities for preparing and cleaning EEG supplies.       Equipment is available for checkout by lab members and includes computers, audio recorders, microphones, SR, and LabHackers Millikey boxes and other essential research equipment.     There are also several workstations and computers for lab members to use while in the lab to process and code data.  

EEG

  One sound booth is equipped with a Brain Vision

Electroencephalography (EEG) setup.

Electroencephalography (EEG)

noun | /əˌlektrōənˌsefəˈläɡrəfē/

1. The measurement of electrical activity in different parts of the brain and the recording of such activity as a visual trace (on paper or on an oscilloscope screen).

This setup includes the associated computers (display and EEG), as well as a 32-channel set of electrodes and 6 different sized caps for running experiments investigating electrical brain responses to visual or auditory stimuli.
A second sound booth has setup with another Brain Vision Electroencephalography (EEG) system, which will allow us to collect even more EEG data in the future. We are also in the process of setting up and testing the equipment and software needed to co-register EEG and eye-tracking data, so stay tuned for even more exciting research!

Behavioral Setups

  The lab include 4 behavioral testing booths. Each booth is equipped with PCs, associated button boxes for use with Psychology Software Tools E-Prime and other experimental software (Psychology Software Tools SR & Chronos button boxes, as well as LabHackers Millikey boxes), digital flash recorders, compact disk recorders, and microphones for digital sound recording.

Eye-Tracking

  One of our sound booths is equipped with an SR Research EyeLink 1000 Plus desktop mounted eye tracker. This setup includes the eye tracker and associated computers (display and host), a head rest, a LabHackers Millikey box, and a USB M-Audio M-Track 2X2M C-Series sound card for running visual world experiments.         The lab also has 2 EyeLink Portable Duo systems to take our eye-tracking research on the road!
