Tools and Equipment
Research Computing Resources
The Data Analysis room houses PC and Mac stations equipped with specialized software
- BrainVision Analyzer 2 for EEG data processing
- Noldus Facereader, a facial expression analysis tool designed to automatically detect and classify emotions based on facial movements. Available for children and adults.
- The Observer XT, a behavioral coding and analysis software to record, visualize, and analyze observational data. It allows researchers to code behaviors quantitatively, synchronize multiple data streams (such as video, audio, eye tracking, EEG, and facial expressions), and integrate external data sources for deeper analysis.
- The LENA (Language ENvironment Analysis) system, a tool designed to processes recorded speech to provide insights into early language development
EEG
TMS
DC-Stimulator
The following devices are available for transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), transcranial alternating current stimulation (tACS), cranial electrical stimulation (CES), galvanic vestibular stimulation (GVS) and transcranial random noise stimulation (tRNS).
Eye Trackers
Ultrasound
Electromagnetic Articulography
Electromagnetic Articulography (EMA) is a technique used to study speech articulation. It works by placing small sensor coils on the tongue, lips, and jaw, which interact with an electromagnetic field generated by transmitter coils around the head. The system tracks movements over time, allowing researchers to analyze speech patterns and disorder.
