The resources of the Cognitive Electrophysiology Laboratory reflect intense interest in the application of event-related potential (ERP) approaches to the study of cognition and the brain. A variety of ERP tasks have been developed and implemented, including novelty oddball paradigms, recognition and source memory tasks, and recency/recognition memory paradigms. In all of these, the temporal and detailed spatial information inherent in the ERP (i.e., distribution of electrical activity across the scalp) are explored. For these purposes, the laboratory maintains three, sound-attenuating and electrically-shielded IAC booths. In one of these, two interchangeable, 64-channel recording and task control systems are housed, one consisting of 64 Sensorium amplifiers and the other of 64 Grass Neurodata amplifiers. The other two experimental rooms are supported by 64-channel Synamp configurations, along with task control systems. Other hardware and software essential to conduct this research is available in the CEPL.

Directions

The lab is located in Washington Heights in upper Manhattan. If you need directions not covered here, or if you should get lost and need additional directions, please call us at 212-543-6034. 

Via the subway:

Take either the 1, 9 or A, C lines to 168^th street. You should now be at the intersection of 168^th street and Broadway.  Turn left (west) down 168^th street and walk one block.  Cross over Ft. Washington and you should see a large red brick building a little ways ahead of you where the street curves to the right.  This is the Kolb Annex. Sign in at the security station inside and go up the elevators to the 3^rd floor.  The lab is room number 345.
