Laboratories |
Chemical Senses Laboratory
The Chemical Senses Laboratory at Wheeling Jesuit University examines issues related to taste and odor processing, food preferences and eating disorders. Much of our work involves examining the factors influencing human food consumption, especially in relation to nutritional outcomes. The laboratory contains rooms for private studies as well as large data gathering areas. It is supplied with the necessary equipment for producing taste and odor stimuli, such as sinks, refrigerator, balances, stimulus preparation areas, odorant delivery system, and water distillation. |
| |
Health Psychophysiology Laboratory:
The Health Psychophysiology Laboratory at Wheeling Jesuit University examines issues related to psychological-physiological interactions. Much of our work involves examining the factors influencing human physical performance, with the goals of maximizing human performance through non-pharmacological means. It is supplied with the necessary equipment for physiological investigations, such as a treadmill, monitoring equipment (heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen consumption, biofeedback, EMG), and oxygen concentrator. |
| |
Sleep Performance Laboratory:
The Sleep Performance Laboratory examines issues related to improving sleep patterns and subsequent cognitive functioning. Much of our work involves varying the parameters under which our participants sleep, to determine the best sleeping conditions. The laboratory contains beds, physiological monitoring equipment, infrared television monitoring system, as well as high end data analysis machines. |
| |
Sensory Attenuation Laboratory:
The Sensory Attenuation Laboratory examines how human performance is altered in the absence of sensory stimulation. The Laboratory contains a sensory deprivation floatation tank, in which all sensory stimulation can be eliminated. Auditory and visual images can be administered within the tank for specialized sensory studies. |
| |
Pain Psychophysics Laboratory:
The Pain Perception Laboratory examines the conditions under which pain can be attenuated, in hopes of increasing the quality of life for those individuals experiencing pain. Equipment to monitor physiological reactions to pain, as well as a device for pain administration, are available. |
