Project

Eye-tracking equipment

Research into conscious and unconscious emotional processes during visual perception takes a prominent place within the research group psychiatry and beyond. The acquisition of a state-of-the-art eye-tracking system will provide an important quality increase for the current and future research projects. Such equipment offers significant methodological and theoretical additive value to complement and interpret behavioral data. It allows to evaluate whether differences in performance (for instance between emotional and neutral stimuli or between normal and neuropsychiatric populations) are related to differences in attention; it allows to investigate eye-movements (fixation duration, fixation pattern) as a function of the intensity of emotional cues and it allows to investigate autonomous reactions (pupil dilatation) to emotional stimuli.
