In the Psycholinguistics Lab, we investigate language production and comprehension in native and non-native speakers. The lab comprises the main Psycholinguistics Lab (University Hall 560), the Eye Tracking Lab (University Hall 561), and the Electroencephalography (EEG) Lab (University Hall 562).

The main Psycholinguistics Lab features four stations for running experiments on DMDX, which is freeware for stimulus presentation and data recording. At these stations, it is possible to run a range of experimental tasks, including lexical decision, (word/picture) naming, semantic categorization, moving-window self-paced reading, maze task self-paced reading, (speeded) grammaticality judgment, sentence matching, and elicited production, among many others.

The Eye Tracking Lab houses an EyeLink1000 eye tracker (SR Research) that is used primarily to investigate eye movement patterns during reading (but that can be used for a variety of other experiment types).

The EEG Lab has a 32-channel Biosemi EEG system that is used to investigate neurophysiological responses associated with language processing.
