Equipment is available for students to collect data from multiple modalities including, cardiovascular function (electrocardiogram, ECG), muscle responses (electromyogram, EMG), neural responses (electroencephalogram, EEG ERP), eye movements (electrooculogram, EOG), and arousal responses (electrodermal activity, EDA). These measures can be studied individually or combined with in a single project.
