Facilities and Equipment
The lab space is located on the 4th floor of the University of Arizona Psychology building. It includes a large primary space (672 sq ft) with dedicated resources for data processing and general storage. The lab also contains meeting space, significant videoconferencing equipment, conference phone systems, whiteboards, and other tools to facilitate team science.
The facility also includes a dedicated experimental lab (218 sq ft). The experimental lab includes a participant chamber and adjacent control room and can be configured to study individuals or dyadic interactions with an emphasis on acute physiological responses
In-lab cardiovascular measurement equipment
In-lab cardiovascular measurement equipment
The SuRRF lab has equipment for conducting state-of-the-science non-invasive cardiovascular assessments. The lab is equipped to measure cardiovascular autonomic functioning, respiration, blood pressure and skin conductance. Core equipment includes 6 GE Carescape V100 Blood Pressure Monitors which are used throughout research and clinical settings and a dual impedance cardiograph system (Mindware Technologies). Impedance cardiography is a psychophysiological recording technology which allows for examination of heart rate and its autonomic determinants. Similar to ECG, it further breaks down the electrical signal into its spectral components and conjoins it with measurement of blood flow to derive continuous measures HR, the autonomic branches, stroke volume, cardiac output, ejection fraction, ejection time, respiration, and interactions between these variables.
Daily experience sampling equipment
In addition, the lab has significant resources for daily experience sampling including cell phones for collecting ecological momentary assessment data, ambulatory blood pressure monitors, and wearable physiological monitors.
