Behavioral laboratories
Eight soundproof chambers are available to conduct behavioral experiments. Each chamber is equipped with a standardized high-quality experimental setup which can collect reaction-time data such as push-button responses or naming latencies.
Chambers can be used for individual testing sessions with one experimenter monitoring individual participants as well as for testing up to 4 participants simultaneously. Groups of participants can be monitored via web-cams.
The hardware for each chamber includes:
- Monitors: ViewSonic G90FB 19" CRT.
- Soundcards: Soundblaster Titanium X-FI, with ASIO support.
- Headsets: Sennheiser HMD 280 pro
- push button response boxes
The standard software packages are:
- DMDX
- Presentation
As noted above, the technical group can build and develop special-purpose hardware and software when the standard configuration does not provide the functionality for a particular study.
