Methods & Tools
- ELECTROENCEPHALOGRAM (EEG) SYSTEM GES400 EGI - Electrical Geodesic (64-channel): EEG IS an electrophysiological monitoring method to record electrical activity of the brain. Derivatives of the EEG technique include evoked potentials (EP), which involves averaging the EEG activity time-locked to the presentation of a stimulus of some sort (visual, somatosensory, or auditory). Event-related potentials (ERPs) refer to averaged EEG responses that are time-locked to more complex processing of stimuli; this technique is used in cognitive science, cognitive psychology, and psychophysiological research.
Take a look at the studies we carried out with GES400 EGI - Electrical Geodesic so far and published in Cognitive Processing (Chiera et al. 2022) and Experimental Brain Research (Altavilla et al. 2022).
- LINGUISTIC INQUIRY AND WORD COUNT ( LIWC): LIWC is the gold standard in psychological text analysis software that calculates the percentage of words in a given text that fall into one or more of over 80 linguistic, psychological and topical categories indicating various social, cognitive, and affective processes.
Here you can take a look at a study (Altavilla et al 2020) we made through LIWC and published in Addictive Disorders & Their Treatment . Please, e-mail us if you want to read the PDF.
- LABVANCED: platform enabling researchers to design the most professional and complex web based studies with the ease of a graphical interface.

- Facial expressions analysis [AFFDEX]
- Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) [Shimmer sensor - Consensys]
- Eye Tracking [Tobii Pro Studio]: device for measuring eye positions and eye movement. Eye trackers are used in research on the visual system, in psychology, in psycholinguistics, marketing, as an input device for human-computer interaction.
Here you can take a look at an eye-tracking study (Marini, Ansani, & Paglieri, 2020) we made through iMotions and published in Judgment and Decision Making, while here you'll find another eye-tracking study with pupillometry (Ansani et al., 2020), published on Frontiers in Psychology (Special issue: The Effects of Music on Cognition and Action)
