The psychophysiological laboratory is equipped as a single laboratory especially for studies on cognitive processing and cognitive as well as emotional experience during media reception. In particular, the laboratory uses instrument-based acquisition methods, such as the measurement of psychophysiological parameters or reaction time measurements. The laboratory is part of the "Leipzig Experimental Laboratory for Communication and Media Science" at the Institute.
The laboratory consists on the one hand of the actual laboratory room, in which the experimental participants watch film clips or similar stimuli. The experiments are technically controlled and monitored in an experimental supervisor's room, which is separated from the laboratory room by a door and a one-way mirror.
