About NeuroCognition Laboratory (NCL)
This laboratory uses a multimodal approach to study human cognition using electrophysiology, physiological measurements and eye tracking techniques. We also run elective courses in electrophysiology and lab practicum for postgraduate courses and capacity building workshops for the two techniques. The NeuroCognition Laboratory (NCL) is part of the School of Psychological Sciences at CHRIST (Deemed to be University) Central Campus, Bengaluru and was inaugurated in February 2019. However, after being closed during the pandemic, it became fully operational from June, 2021. Currently, six PhD scholars and numerous postgraduate students are conducting research from disciplines such as Psychology, Education, Commerce and Media.
Techniques available
1. Electroencephalography
We use a 64-channel Magstim EGI Geodesic EEG System with a NA400 EEG amplifier. We use E-Prime 2.0 to design and collect data for behavioural and Event-Related Potential studies. EEG acquisition and analysis is performed by Net Station 5. We can also assess additional physiological measures such as ECG, EMG and Pulse Oxymeter, using Physio 16.
Current research topics at NCL:
-
Spectral Analysis of Mental States
-
ERPs in Face Perception
-
Emotional Recognition
-
Behavioural Decision Making
-
Social Cognition
​
2. Eye Tracking
We use SR Research's EyeLink 1000 Plus system for our experiments in eye-tracking. It is a high frequency sampling system, which can go up to 2000 Hz. We design experiments using Experiment Builder, which is a proprietary software, and use DataViewer to compile and export the data for analysis. The system is equally adept for head-mounted and head-free recordings with excellent data quality.
Current research topics at NCL:
-
Eyewitness Recall
-
Media and Time Perception
-
UX Research and Branding
-
Attitudes to Climate Change
-
Art Perception
