We are currently enrolling German-speaking participants.
If you are interested in participating in the current and future studies, we kindly ask you to send us an e-mail to the respective address. If you are interested in more than one study, please add the other e-mail addresses in CC.
SMART Study: psy.smart@med.uni-muenchen.de
The aim of the SMART study is to better understand the social interactions of people with ADHD. To achieve this, we analyze interactions by assessing various aspects such as language and body movements. We are currently recruiting German-speaking participants with or without an ADHD diagnosis (without a concurrent autism diagnosis), aged between 18 and 45 years, with normal vision or vision corrected with contact lenses, and without any neurological comorbidities. During the study, participants interact with other individuals while different aspects such as language and gestures are recorded. In addition, they complete several questionnaires on psychologically relevant characteristics and their well-being. Further information can be found in the flyer.
VIDA Study: psy.vida@med.uni-muenchen.de
The aim of this study is to develop a computer-based prototype that uses virtual reality and machine learning to classify behavioral patterns associated with Autism/BPD/ADHD. We are currently looking for German-speaking participants with a Borderline Personality Disorder diagnosis or ADHD (without co-occurring autism), aged 18–45 years, with normal or corrected-to-normal vision, and no neurological comorbidities. During the study, participants will be asked to interact with a virtual character during a virtual grocery shopping scenario and complete several questionnaires about psychological characteristics and well-being. For more information, see the flyer.
SYNC&CLICK Study: PSY-SINC@med.uni-muenchen.de
The aim of the SYNC&CLICK study is to explore the potential link between social interactions and mental health, for example loneliness. To do this, we examine different physiological signals during naturalistic social interactions, including eye contact, facial expressions and gestures, heart activity, perspiration, and brain activity. We are currently recruiting German-speaking participants aged 12–16 years who have normal vision or vision corrected with contact lenses, and who have no diagnosed neurological or psychiatric disorder. During the study, participants interact with another person while wearing several measuring devices: two sensors, ECG and EDA, which measure heart activity and perspiration; special glasses that measure eye contact; and either an EEG headband or an fNIRS cap, which records brain activity. All measuring devices are safe and painless. Participants also complete a few questionnaires before and after each conversation. Further information can be found in the flyer.
Thank you for your participation!
