Waiting Room

At The Touch and Emotion Lab we have comfortable waiting room for participants in which we discuss details around the study they are going to be part of. The room is located next to the testing room.

Testing Room

We have a large testing room that can be configured in a variety of ways depending on the studies we're doing. The testing room is outfitted with motorized remote control video-cameras, as well as one-way observation glass at both ends of the room.

Control Room

The control room is adjacent to the testing room and allows researchers to unobtrusively observe participants during studies. The control room is outfitted with state-of-the-art video recording and editing equipment.

Coding & Meeting Room

In this room, we code the data for subsequent data analysis. We also use this room to meet as a lab to devise future studies and discuss studies already underway.

Data Storage & Other Rooms

We have a number of large horizontal file cabinets that are used to store the data we collect. The file cabinets are secure to protect participants' confidentiality. In addition, the lab has access to a number of rooms that are shared by the Psychology department that can be used for a variety of purposes.
