Expertise

The Swiss Center for Affective Sciences is made of professors, researchers, post-doctoral fellows, and doctoral students from several disciplines involved in the study of emotions.

Our expertise covers a wide range of methods:

• Behavioral analysis (from Eye-tracking to non-verbal communication)
• Implicit methods
• Neuroscientific methods: EEG, fMRI
• Psychophysiological measures of emotions (e.g., cardiac and respiration measures, galvanic skin response)
• Survey, questionnaires, and self-reports

Typically, research collaborations involve one or more of the following:

• Development of scientific protocols for research & development activities

• Complete research design, data collection and analysis

• Development of assessment instruments and procedures for emotion analysis

• Scientific assessment of emotional responses, values, attitudes and preferences in different contexts.
