Labs and Technologies

Members of the HLC rely on various labs and technologies for their healthy longevity research and innovation.

If you would be interested in learning more about what we do and how we do it, please contact Dr. Christina Röcke.


	Dyadic Dynamics Analytics Lab (DDA Lab) The DDA Lab is used to observe and analyze (e.g., using automatic encoding of facial emotional expressions) real-time dyadic interactions taking place within several types of dyads – from romantic couples to human-machine dyads – across the lifespan.
	VividSound Lab (VSL): Realistic 3D Audio Environments The VSL is desgined to create naturalistic acoustic scenarios with ascending complex/difficult listening conditions in 3D-Audio, including neurophysiology, cognition and hearing.
	Rooms for Data Collection and Secure Data Processing A number of data collection and secure processing rooms are available for experiments and sensitive data analysis.
	uTrail The uTrail is a custom-built sensor including a GPS tracker, an accelerometer, and a microphone that was developed to capture mobility (i.e., spatial activity), physical activity and social activity in daily life.
	MR Simulator (Mock Scanner) The MR simulator from NordicNeuroLab is employed to acclimate research participants, prepare experimental paradigms, and train research staff for actual magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies.
	Eye Trackers High-precision eye trackers (EyeLink II and EyeLink 1000 Plus) are utilized for behavioral and MRI studies to understand, among other things, how stress and emotion responses relate to pupil size and how this can be relied upon to foster resilience.
	Ambulatory Assessment and Mobile Monitoring A variety of mobiles devices, such as smartphones, are used for collecting real-time data in naturalistic environments.
