EMG-Labor

Bildschirm des Laborrechners mit laufender Experimentalsoftware

Hier erforschen wir, wie unsere Gesichtsmuskulatur auf verschiedene Reize reagiert. Dabei messen wir sowohl willentliche Reaktionen als auch spontane Aktivität.

Technische Ausstattung

  • VarioLab mini (Einheit zur Erfassung von Biodaten)
  • uVariotest (Experimentalsoftware)
