Web-based experiments

Welcome to our Web-based experimentation portal.

Below please find a list of links to emotions research that is currently conducted in our lab and available online. For example, you will find tests which allow estimating emotion recognition ability. We invite you to complete one or more of these instruments and online experiments. They do not require any particular software on your computer. All that you need is a browser supporting Flash. Many of the instruments will give you a choice of language -- French and German in addition to English.

For many tests you can choose between a demo version (with only a few illustrative items) or - if you are interested - a complete version. The approximate duration for the full version of each experiment or test is given in parentheses. For most of the tests, you will receive a brief summary of your results at the end of the test.

All our experiments are anonymous and the results are used for research purposes only. We will add further tests and experiments in the future, so please visit the site again.
