Research facilities

Laboratories and research equipment

The departments affiliated with the PhD School in Psychological Sciences provide access to more than 60 equipped research laboratories, offering a rich environment for experimental, psychophysiological, and applied research. Facilities include EEG and TMS systems for cognitive and neuroimaging studies; eye-tracking and motion-tracking labs for investigating perception, action, and social interaction; soundproof rooms for psycholinguistic and auditory research; and state-of-the-art setups for virtual reality and immersive environments. Several labs are dedicated to developmental and clinical assessment, psychometrics, and others host advanced tools for behavioral recording, physiological monitoring, and computational modeling. These resources enable our doctoral candidates to pursue innovative, high-quality research across all areas of psychological science
