Want to see how we study social minds? Come to our lab and take a tour!
Durchschnittliche Verweildauer: 30 Minuten
The Social Mind and Body group (SOMBY), led by Natalie Sebanz and Günther Knoblich, investigates the perceptual, cognitive, and motor processes that underlie social cognition and social interaction. Our take is that individual minds are geared towards understanding others and interacting with others.
Join us for a lab tour and get familiar with our research group's newly established lab space in Vienna. We offer visits to three of our labs:
- in the Music Lab, we will show examples of how to use music in experimental settings to understand how humans cooperate and coordinate with each other,
- in the Motion Lab, we will introduce examples of using motion capture technology in joint action and social cognition research,
- in the EEG Lab, visitors can get familiar with conducting experiments with electroencephalography (EEG) on even two or more testing subjects simultaneously.
Collaborators: Fanni Takatsy and Candasch Acar (Lab Managers).

Why (and how) do we cooperate?
Thema: GesellschaftHumans are successfully cooperating on a surprisingly large number of occasions. Is it because they are, fundamentally, nice? Is it because they just know how cooperation can work to their own interest? We study the motives and beliefs at the basis of cooperation. Visitors can play games that reveal their strategic thoughts and their social preferences (generosity, fairness, spite, etc.).Central European University -
Machines vs. Romance: Which Wins and When? / Makine ve Aşk: Hangisi Ne Zaman Üstün Gelir?
Thema: WirtschaftIn the world of technology and automation, romantic partners impact how we behave. Imagine a scenario for a person named Alex. Alex decided to cook a gourmet dish for his/her potential romantic partner in one of their initial dates. Alex can cook the dish manually by using regular cookware or by using an automatic cooker. How will Alex cook the dish, with or without the automated products?Central Euorpen University -

How can babies control a computer with their eyes and how to use eye movements to study their cognitive skills?
Thema: GesellschaftEye tracking allows to detect a person’s gaze and follow in real time what they are looking at. Eye tracking is a great tool to study what babies and young children understand about the world and how they interact with technology before they can speak, manipulate objects, or walk. Stop by to try out some eye-tracking studies and experience how it feels to control a computer with your eyes.Central European University -
Wie können Babys einen Computer mit ihren Augen steuern und wie werden Augenbewegungen verwendet, um ihre kognitiven Fähigkeiten zu erforschen?
Thema: NaturwissenschaftenDas sogenannte Eye-tracking (Blickerfassung) ermöglicht es, den Blick einer Person in Echtzeit zu erfassen und zu verfolgen. Eye-tracking ist eine großartige Methode um zu erforschen, wie Babys und Kleinkinder die Welt begreifen (z.B. welche Wörter sie bereits verstehen) und wie sie mit Technologien umgehen, noch bevor sie sprechen oder gehen können. Kommen Sie vorbei und probieren Sie selbst einen Eyetracker aus!Central European University -

Everyday obstacles – through the eyes of Roma Hungarians
Thema: GesellschaftWhat would you do if security guards followed you closely whenever you went shopping? And how would you feel if you could never get a chance to rent a flat for yourself? Our research team collaborated with young Roma volunteers from Hungary creating documentaries bravely showing examples of the discrimination they face during routine activities in their daily lives. Disucuss with creators and researchers.CEU -

What makes us act together?
Thema: GesellschaftWhy do we prefer to load the dishwasher by ourselves but enjoy cooking with our partner? Why is it fun to solve a puzzle together but we prefer to solve arithmetics problems by ourselves? Every day we choose between doing things alone or together: how do we make such decisions? In this station we will show how we investigate such questions using coordination games played on a touchscreen.Central European University -
How do we understand people through their movements?
Thema: GesellschaftWhat kinds of judgements do we make from the movements of those around us? Can we tell whether they are going to pour from a bottle or take a drink? Can we tell how confident they are when placing a bet? Can we understand their moral preferences? You will learn how we can use something as simple as a computer trackpad to tackle questions related to the social aspects of human movement and the perception thereof.Central European University -
How do we like to coordinate with others? - A Joint Action experiment with Magic Balloons!
Thema: GesellschaftWhy do we fall into synchrony when we are walking next to each other on the street? Why do we chant in unison, and why does it feel almost magical when we say the same thing at the same time without previously rehearsing it? At this station, you will get familiar with an experiment that aims to answer questions about an important and exciting element of movement coordination: synchronization.Central European University -

Why do we rush in social interactions and what does it have to do with fireflies and sea shanties?
Thema: NaturwissenschaftenYou will be able to participate in a short drumming experiment alone or together with others to experience how we investigate temporal coordination in humans. You will learn about how your social brain predicts others and how you adjust your actions to the actions of others. You will also experience what we might have in common with fireflies and why sea shanties were so important for sailors of the 19th century.Central European University -
How to study how we identify with our computer game avatars?
Thema: GesellschaftWhen you play a computer game you often control a character that is different from how you look. In some way, when you play a game you BECOME that character – your avatar. But what does it mean that you become your avatar? This station will show you how we try to answer this question. You will see what tasks our participants do and what equipment we use to record electrical signals from our participants’ brains.Central European University -
