What we do

Our goals

The Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience conducts experimental research in the field of cognitive neuroscience and neuroscience of emotions. Using the evoked potential methodology, we analyze the activity of the brain during the completion of tasks, which engage cognitive and emotional process. Our current projects focus on the relation between regulation of emotion deficits and executive functions as well as predictors of procrastination development and technology addiction.

Reaserch equipment

The Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience conducts experimental research with the use of the latest EEG technology, which allows to measure electrical activity of the brain and helps to register additional physiological signals, such as electrical muscle activity and electrical heart activity.

The eye tracking equipment allows to follow eye movements and helps to measure eye position in the fixation points. We use E-Prime, Presentation and Inquisit to design our experiments. We analyze neurophysiological data using Matlab software.

Our equipment:

  • Brain Products Electroencephalogram, including a set of 64 electrodes with two compatible caps and an actiChamp amplifier that also enables the measurement of other signals, such as muscular (EMG), heart activity (EKG), and corneo-retinal (EOG).
  • Tobi X60 Eye Tracker for eye movement measurement
  • BIOPACK BSL MP45 system for recording the electrical activity of the heart (Electrocardiogram)
  • BIOPAC MP160 system – a flexible modular data acquisition & analysis system for life science research.

Popularization of results and education

Our team helps to organize various education events, such as the Brain Week, an annual event at SWPS University aimed at popularizing neuroscience and psychological research among children and youth. We also conduct workshops during Psychology Days.

Research
projects

The Laboratory of Affective Neuroscience is currently conducting the following research projects:

Psychotherapy treatment of procrastination – effectiveness and neuronal and behavioral mechanisms

Procrastination is defined as delaying completion of some tasks despite being aware of negative consequences of such behavior, which leads to experiencing discomfort and even a lower quality of life. Despite ubiquitousness of this problem, so far there have bee no studies on the effectiveness and mechanisms of therapeutic interventions that would lead to the decrease of procrastination. this project aims to fill this research gap. The project is carried out in collaboration with the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology and the Institute of Psychology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN). Principal Investigator: Marek Wypych, Ph.D. / Associate Professor at the Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology of the Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN).
Research team: Jarosław Michałowski, Ph.D. / Associate Professor at SWPS University; Weronika Browarczyk, M.A., SWPS University, Joachim Kowalski, Ph.D., Institute of Psychology, Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN); Magdalena Pietruch, M.A., Nencki Institute of Experimental Biology, Polish Academy of Sciences (PAN).
