Methods & Expertise for Research Infrastructure

The Clinical Stress and Emotion Lab is a research lab for elicitation, measurement and analysis of stress and emotion reactions in humans.
A large number of stimuli and experimental setups are used and behavioral, cognitive, autonomic, endocrine and electrocortical (64-channels) indicators of stress and emotions are measured during waking and sleep. When examining people with psychological disorders this allows developing a systemic perspective for understanding the mechanisms and processes relevant for clinical syndromes, taking into account neurocognitive, affective and social theories and relationships.
Lab examinations can be validated externally and supplemented through mobile psychophysiological measurement devices and smartphone-based surveys.
