Behavioral experiments (BEELab)<\/h4>

The BEElab was established in February 2008. It consists of two rooms separated by a removable wall. The rooms contain 20 and 13 computer terminals, respectively, and a printer. There is a small briefing room at the entrance of the lab with 16 seats and a white board.<\/p>

The terminals are HP Small Form Factor Business PCs, equipped with 19 inch LCD screens. There are 15 headsets available.<\/p>

Standard software includes Windows 7, MS Office 2007, together with internet connection, provided and maintained by the IT department of the School of Business and Economics. Additional software such as z-Tree and netQuestionnaire is available.<\/p>

More information can be found at the\u00a0BEELab website<\/a>.<\/p>

Brain stimulation (TMS)<\/h5>

The lab is fully equipped for research that can combine TMS and fMRI in a novel way. It consists of two stimulators which allow for single-pulse TMS (chronometry of functional relevance), event-related TMS and repetitive TMS (long-term effects), in which different forms of coil (8-shaped and round, placebo coils) can be used. MRI- (or fMRI-) controlled neuronavigation makes precise stimulation possible using the MRI and fMRI data and Talairach coordinates. This is an MR-compatible setup which is one of the few labs worldwide to combine TMS and fMRI simultaneously.<\/p>

More information can be found at the\u00a0Labs for Non-invasive Brain Stimulation and Multi-modal Imaging website.<\/a><\/p>

Digital Experience Laboratory (DEXLab)<\/h4>

\u00a0The purpose of the SBE DEXLab is to drive understanding of digital experiences at SBE with a variety of mobile and wearable devices, which are cutting-edge, usable without extensive technical support (beyond the academics), potentially useful for various research applications and focus on user experience. These devices include a wide array of digital technologies, such as Virtual Reality (VR), Sensory-enabling-technologies (SETs), Augmented Reality (AR), Social\/service robots, etc.<\/span><\/p>

More information can be found at the DEXLab website<\/a>.<\/p>

Electroencephalography (EEG)<\/h4><\/div>

The four EEG labs each contain two rooms, one for the test participants and one for the experimenter. There is also a small kitchen, where the electrodes are fitted and cleaned.<\/p>

The experimenter\u2019s room includes amplifiers, computers and viewing screens. The amplifiers have either 32 or 64 channels. A channel represents an electrode position on the test participant\u2019s head. An EEG can show where and when activity is occurring in the participant\u2019s brain. Currently, the EEG labs have 3 x\u00a064 channels and 1 x\u00a032 channels.<\/p>

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)<\/h4>

MRI studies can be conducted on any of the three whole-body MRI scanners at\u00a0Brains Unlimited<\/a>, housed within the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience.\u00a0 The Siemens MRI scanners have ultra-high magnetic fields of respectively 3.0, 7.0 and 9.4 Tesla.<\/p>

Other facilities<\/h4>

Researchers also have access to the other labs at the Faculty of Psychology and Neuroscience.\u00a0 Of particular interest for neuroeconomics research are the pharmacology and eye-tracking labs.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
