Berkeley Psychophysiology Lab
UC Berkeley
The Berkeley Psychophysiology Laboratory is a research laboratory in the Institute of Personality and Social Research at the University of California, Berkeley. Our research group, led by Dr. Robert Levenson, seeks to understand the nature of human emotion in terms of its physiological manifestations, variations associated with age, gender, culture and clinical pathology, and the role emotion plays in interpersonal interactions. The laboratory also trains undergraduates and graduates in the techniques of psychophysiological measurement, the use of computers to process and analyze physiological data, and the assessment of emotion by analyzing facial muscle movement and other methods of behavioral coding.
