The laboratory is used by many faculty members, Ph.D. and MA students
at Tel Aviv University. The lab has 11 workstations connected by a
network to the university computer. Each workstation has access to all
the university programs.
In addition, we have a special program called Observer that is
produced by a Dutch company called
Noldus. It
allows researchers to observe videos they made and while they are
looking at them, they can code data. The Observer program has a
statistical package for analyzing data and, if there is a need for
additional statistical tests, the data can be sent to the university
computer where analyses can be performed.
The lab also has an area where research can be conducted behind a
one-way mirror that allows students and faculty members to observe
on-going research without interfering with it.
And, last, the lab has machinery that allows the transfer of
videotapes to CDs, which aids in coding data on the Observer.
