Psychological Research

Psychological research has always been a pioneer in many areas of biological-signal research. Often, the focus is on a single field such as EEG, ECG, skin conductance, or eye tracking. However, the simultaneous detection and analysis of several signals result in synergies that are significantly greater than the sum of their parts.

Physiological signals such as EEG, EMG, ECG, pulse rate, or galvanic skin response provide insight into the human body’s reactions to certain stimuli. In the field of visual stimuli, an eye-tracking system is particularly recommended to record when the visual stimulus is actually perceived. This makes it possible to study reactions specifically at the time of actual perception and can significantly increase the evidential value of the results. The synchronous recording of eye tracking and physiological signals is an important aspect in this scenario.

For stationary experiments, we recommend a combination of the following hardware and software:

  • Variolab amplifier for measuring GSR, EMG, ECG, pulse, or EEG with up to 16 channels

  • Tobii remote eye tracker

  • Biometric Software Suite Professional for synchronization and data analysis

Additionally, brain activity can be recorded and synchronized using NIRS equipment from our portfolio, manufactured by Artinis.

For mobile experiments, we recommend using the portable Varioport amplifier together with the Tobii Glasses 2 mobile eye tracker.

Again, synchronization and analysis of data using the Biometric Software Suite Professional is possible.
