Students studying psychology will be exposed to a range of laboratory equipment used for psychological research and can get hands on experience, with much of the equipment used in final year projects.
We have an observation laboratoy that contains two ceiling mounted video cameras, and boundary microphones, controlled by video editing hardware and software, a psychophisiology lab, and a cognition lab.
The Psychophysiology lab contains:
-
Bio-pac (the bio-pac system allows the acquisition and analysis of physiological data, such as heart rate, respiratory rate, GSR, EOG)
-
Neuroscan (software and hardware applications for neuroscience research. EEG, ERPs, Source Localization and Functional Neuroimaging, Neuroscan provides complete solutions for a wide range of Neuroscience applications)
-
Stim2(stimulus design and presentation software. Can be used alone to run experiments, or can be used to trigger neuroscan)
The Cognition lab houses five sound-attenuated cubcles and is used to run experiments using a variety of software including:
-
E-prime (experiment generation and millisecond precision data collection through data handling and processing, E-Prime is the most powerful and flexible experiment generator available)
-
Superlab (stimulus presentation software
-
Windows Media Encoder (screen recording software that allows you to record what you can see on screen and add voice narration to it)
