Andras is a senior research fellow at the University of Pécs, Hungary; where he also received his PhD in 2019. His research interests fall under the broad heading of visual cognition, particularly research into visual attention. His other research interests include the development and refinement of psychometric tests and specific phobias. His primary work focuses on attention, with an emphasis on human visual processing.
Virag received her master's degree in Psychology at the University of Pécs in 2020. She is most interested in the developmental aspects of emotion processing and cognition. In her thesis, the main question was whether children and adults see different facial emotional expressions as similar or different when seen on faces of peers or non-peers. We wish her all the best in her future works!

Our Institute will get a 64-channel EEG from BrainProducts. Hopefully, it will be up and running in 2021!
We proposed a new, self-developed paradigm where participants have to search through an array, similar to a chessboard, filled with numbers starting from one to a pre-established amount, presenting every number only once. We argue that this method is great in many ways, one great application is to separate the subcomponents of attentional biases for threat.
In our projects, we routinely employ a set of touchscreen monitors - works great for adults as well as children.
We are mostly interested in behavioural data, such as reaction times and accuracy, thus, we need a lot of computers supplied with E-Prime and PsychoPy Softwares. We have access to the departmental computer lab, where we can collect data from up to ten subjects at a time.
MP160 plus AcqKnowledge for ECG, EDA, EMG, PPG and RSP.
