In the course of ongoing projects COAT-Basel is eligible to tap the human and infrastructural resources of the Department of Psychiatry at the University of Basel at the shortest possible notice.

COAT-Basel has taken or is still taking part in more than 10 EU funded projects, among them 2 IPs (SENSATION and ASK-IT) and 1 NoE (INTUITION). COAT is acting as Ethical Manager in a number of these projects. Furthermore the center is receiving funds from the Swiss National Fund regularly. Apart from a electromagnetically shielded and fully equipped neurophysiological laboratory COAT is the owner of a fully immersive, stereoscopic Virtual Reality – system /three-segmented powerwall) for stimulus presentation (including auditory and visually provoked Event-related Potentials (ERP) and real-time/online measurement and analysis of neurophysiological as well as behavioral response patterns of the respective users to this stimuli. Furthermore COAT-Basel houses a semi-dynamic, full-car driving simulator which is equally equipped as stated for the neurophysiological laboratory.
