WELCOME TO THE NEUROGES® WEBSITE

The NEUROpsychological GESture(NEUROGES)System is an objective and reliable analysis system for nonverbal behaviour, focussing on hand movement and gestural behaviour.

NEUROGES® is designed for basic research on hand movement behavior and gesture and its relation to cognitive, emotional, and interactive processes. Up to now, it has been applied in more than 500 individuals, from different cultures as Germans, U.S. Americans, francophone and anglophone Canadians, Suisse, Koreans, Kenyans, and Papua New Guineans, including healthy individuals as well as individuals with brain damage and with mental illness. A recent review of 18 empirical studies using NEUROGES® in combination with ELAN demonstrates a good reliability of the system, as measured with interrater agreement (Lausberg & Slöetjes, 2015). Given the growing body of empirical evidence for the validity of the NEUROGES® values regarding cognitive, emotional, and interactive processes, NEUROGES® is applied increasingly for diagnostic purposes in neuropsychology, psychodiagnostics, and therapist - patient interaction.Hedda Lausberg
