Center for Human Psychophysiology

The Center for Human Psychophysiology provides access to modern cognitive and behavioral neuroscience technologies. These technologies allow researchers who are interested in aspects of psychology, cognition, and neural processing to augment behavioral methodologies with a variety of noninvasive measures of human brain function such as EEG. For more information, please contact Dr. Robin Thomas.

Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy Laboratory

The fNIRS (Functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy) Laboratory is a shared resource with the Physics department. Similar to functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI), fNIRS measures relative blood flow changes in the brain, or the hemodynamic response. The fNIRS system uses near-infrared lights, which can pass into the brain, to detect the changes in levels of blood oxygenation. These changes reflect brain function and brain physiology. For more information, please contact Dr. Vrinda Kalia.
