World-class facilities and equipment
Our facility contains a cutting-edge laboratory equipped with state-of-the-art tools to make objective measurements of sleep and performance.
Occupying 10,000 square feet in the South Campus Facility, the laboratory contains everything needed to accommodate studies lasting many consecutive days, including four bedrooms, a central observation room, and a large common area with a kitchenette. There is also a clinical area that can be used both as part of the research lab (e.g., for the application of EEG electrodes) or as a separate space for the screening of research volunteers (physical exams, drawing and storing of blood).
Equipment in the laboratory includes:
- State-of-the-art computer workstations for cognitive performance assessment
- High-end amplifiers for polysomnographic sleep recordings and event-related potential measurements
- Advanced near-infrared optical devices for brain metabolism monitoring
- Fully integrated local area network with time synchronization of measurement devices
- Comprehensive audiovisual monitoring and recording
- Ultra-low temperature freezer for biological sample storage
