The Psychophysiology Lab

About the lab

Equipped with state-of-the-art technology (found only at a few universities worldwide), it enables the measurement of physiological and subjective sexual responses in both men and women to a variety of visual, auditory, and written stimuli. The lab supports research in areas such as sexual orientation, desire, arousal patterns, and gender differences, contributing to a deeper understanding of human sexuality within a controlled, ethical, and confidential setting.

Measurements of physical sexual arousal (penile and vaginal plethysmography) can be collected alongside subjective experiences of sexual arousal as well as other physiological (e.g., pupil dilation, heart rate, skin conductance, EEG) and psychological (e.g., eye-tracking, self-reported attitudes) responses.
