Research facilities​

EEG laboratory​
University of Economics and Human Sciences​
Okopowa 59 street, 01-043 Warsaw

The EEG Laboratory is a modern facility situated in the basement of the University of Economics and Human Sciences in Warsaw. The room, divided into larger and smaller sections, is equipped with 5 computers and rows of chairs for students and research participants. Additionally, our laboratory houses specialized tools including computers for stimulus presentation, EEG-USG cables, hairdressing towels, syringe caps, syringes, blunt needles, and Supervisc gel. Within this space, we conduct both scientific research and classes for students, focusing on enhancing their understanding of EEG technology.

 

Eyetracking​

Within the laboratory, we have access to mobile eyetrackers: Pupil Labs Invisible. They resemble traditional glasses, allowing respondents to remain inconspicuous in public settings. Such eyetrackers are well-suited not only for laboratory research but especially for field studies. ​

 

We welcome your research collaboration!​

As a university, we are committed to fostering mutual idea exchange. Therefore, we extend an invitation to all researchers interested in advancing EEG research to collaborate with us.

We are optimistic that through our joint efforts, we will discover common solutions, leading to fruitful cooperation. Cooperation contact:
