The laboratory offers students of ZU the chance to gain and scientifically prove knowledge in experimental psychology and behavioral and brain research. As an interface between science and practice, it supports the concept of the university to encourage the independent acquisition and demonstration of knowledge and skills.

The experimental equipment of the laboratory has been made possible - among others - by the support of decode, so that meanwhile measurements of choice reactions & emotional activation, of eye movement and pupillary changes, and of blood circulation variations in the cortex close to the cranium can be carried out.
