Facilities

We maintain multiple climate-controlled or soundproof testing laboratories designed for behavioural experiments. These spaces support our research on self-talk and the behavioural correlates of inner speech and cognitive processing. Our research capabilities extend beyond physical labs through institutional access to Pavlovia.

Our Eyelink 1000 eye tracking system allows us to examine how inner speech and cognitive processes are reflected in eye movement patterns. By measuring gaze patterns, fixations, and pupil responses, we can gain insights into attentional processes and cognitive load during internal language generation and processing tasks.

Our lab primarily uses an EGI 128-channel EEG system for high-density electroencephalographic recordings. This setup provides exceptional temporal resolution for capturing neural activity patterns associated with inner speech and language processing.

Advanced data analysis of EEG and physiological recordings is supported by Lancaster University’s High End Computing (HEC) Cluster. This powerful computing resource provides access to over 14,000 computing cores and advanced GPU capabilities, enabling sophisticated signal processing and analysis techniques essential for extracting meaningful patterns from complex neurophysiological data.
