Computational Physiology Lab

The Computational Physiology Lab's (CPL) research focuses on unobtrusive and sustained monitoring of physiological variables. This novel methodological work has spurred psychological and medical discoveries and formed the basis of new applications. The Computational Physiology Lab was founded in 2002 by Dr. Ioannis Pavlidis and since then gained worldwide recognition. At this moment the lab has three research lines and an educational research effort on science ethics.

We have discovered a  fundamental  and well-hidden human behavior. Dexterity sets humans  apart from all other animals and is directly linked to the development of civilization. In this sense, dexterity has been closely connected to higher  order cognitive functions rather than raw sympathetic responses. Contrary to this common belief, our research suggests that in dexterous challenges the sympathetic system appears to dominate behavior, producing 'fight or flight' responses that translate to fast (and counter-productive) pace of attempt. Read more ...
