The Neurofeedback Lab allows to study effects of neurofeedback training (based on operant conditioning of EEG signals) which provides an alternative treatment option for various neurobiological dysfunctions. While well-known examples include ADHD and learning difficulties, neurofeedback is currently being tested as a promising approach for individuals with autism spectrum disorders.

Virtual reality (VR) technology is increasingly used to study human social interaction, as well as human-machine or human-robot interaction. This Lab still requires designated lab space and we are currently seeking a solution, but the basic equipment is already being used in VR experiments. In those, we can display experimental stimuli in VR, and record both behavioral and physiological responses. Designated VR labspace and state-of-the-art equipment for more extensive experiments will hopefully become available in the near future. When the institute moves to a new building, there is designated space for a large Virtual Reality lab that will be used by multiple groups. Our aim is to ensure that psychological science in Jena has access to current methods to assess behavior in complex, dynamic, and realistic social situations, with a maximum of experimental control.
