Biomarkers in Psychology: An interactive EMG workshop

Biomarkers gain more and more importance in psychological research, but also clinical psychological practice. The aim of the course is to gather an overview over different biomarkers relevant for psychological application, with a focus on EMG technology. In a practical session, the students will develop, implement, and test EMG solutions for different psychological contexts through the creation of digital and/or physical prototypes. Further, they will gain an understanding about the chances, risks and open questions of biomarker research in psychology. Finally, the students will learn about the basics of user-centered design with a focus on the evaluation of their prototypes.
