DESCRIPTION
In plenary lectures we will outline how affective and cognitive processing is reflected in observable behavioral and physiological signals. The lectures are interspersed with a series of practicals, where the students learn how to record the Electrocardiogram (ECG), Electrodermal Activity (EDA), Blood Pressure (BP), the Impedance Cardiogram (ICG), the Electroencephalogram (EEG), the Electrooculogram (EOG), in experimental designs aimed at isolating specific affective and cognitive processes. This will be done in a standardized laboratory setting and/or an ambulatory setting. The main principles, strategies and limitations for data analysis will be covered in the lectures and then applied in the practicals to the self-recorded data-sets.
