Psychotherapy Lab
The Psychotherapy Lab focuses on the investigation of psychological processes that contribute to the development or maintenance of mental disorders. In addition, it is designed to support research on the psychotherapeutic process. It features two assessment rooms equipped with a sophisticated system of cameras and microphones. This equipment enables the unobtrusive observation and recording of clinical interviews as well as psychotherapy sessions for both research and training purposes.
List of equipment
The Psychotherapy Lab consists of two independent rooms, interconnected by one control-room, and specifically designed for the observation of clinical interviews and psychotherapy sessions. Moreover, we have equipment to measure physiological data:
- Cameras and microphones for the unobtrusive observation and recording of interviews and therapy sessions
- (transportable) 64-channel EEG (electroencephalography) to monitor central-nervous-system activity
- ECG (electrocardiography) and blood pressure monitors for the assessment of cardiovascular functions
- EDA (electrodermal activity) to measure skin conductance responses
- Biofeedback devices
- Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation
