EEG Lab

The EEG Lab in Dover Street Building (formerly in Zochonis Building) is a purpose-built, shared-use facility supporting the research of many PIs, PhD students, and master’s students in the Centre for Cognitive Neuroscience in the Division of Psychology, Communication, and Human Neuroscience, and our local, international and industry collaborators.

The EEG Lab consists of 3 electrically shielded soundproof booths, each equipped with an EEG system (64 EEG + 8 EXG channel BioSemi ActiveTwo), dedicated stimulation and acquisition computers, and button boxes for collecting participant responses.

We also have a Polhemus FasTrak for electrode location digitisation, electrodes for measuring skin-conductance response, hyperscanning capability (recording from two systems simultaneously), eye-tracking glasses, cameras, microphones, and other bits of kit for cutting-edge cognitive neuroscience research.

The lab also houses a Prep Room with salon-style sinks to allow participants to wash electrode gel out of their hair, a comfortable reception area, 3 behavioural testing rooms with soundproof pods, and a staff computing area for analysis and programming.
