About Us | Labvanced

Labvanced leads the field in behavioral research methods and experiment design, uniting its proprietary and validated peer-reviewed webcam eye tracking with emotion detection, remote heart rate, and biosignal capture in a single, no-code platform. Combining these with established behavioral measures like reaction time reveals not just what a participant does, but the decisions and cognitive processes behind it. Released in 2018, it is used by 35,000+ researchers across 40+ countries.

Whether the goal is uncovering behavioral insight, validating high-stakes decisions, or advancing AI-driven research methods, Labvanced provides the tools to get there. Every study runs on methodology that survives peer review, with behavioral data a survey tool can't capture.

About Labvanced

Labvanced, released in 2018, is built and maintained by Scicovery GmbH and was created by two researchers whose complementary backgrounds, cognitive science and computational neuroscience, shape the platform directly: rigorous experimental design paired with the engineering depth to run it reliably at scale.

They had run behavioral studies themselves during their PhDs and knew the friction firsthand: the choice between rigid survey tools, expensive lab hardware, and code-heavy libraries that demanded a developer. They built Labvanced to remove that trade-off: a platform with research-grade measurement and full experimental control that is usable without code, and fast data collection that gets researchers to publication sooner.

What we do

Labvanced lets researchers design and run experiments without code and deploy them across web, desktop, and mobile. It is used by 35,000+ researchers across 40+ countries.

Validated measurement Peer-reviewed webcam eye tracking, millisecond-precise timing, and emotion detection, built in and research-grade.

One study, everywhere The same visually-built experiment runs natively online, in-lab, and on mobile, with no porting step.

Built by researchers Envisioned by PhDs who ran their own studies first. The platform reflects how research is actually done.

Meet the founders

Dr. rer. nat. Caspar Goeke

Co-founder & CEO
Caspar completed his PhD in Cognitive Science with a focus on human navigation and methodological innovation in online experiments. His expertise spans cognitive psychology, experimental design, statistics, and data analysis. At Labvanced, he leads front-end development, project management, customer relations, and personnel.

Dr. rer. nat. Holger Finger

Co-founder & CTO
Holger studied Physics (BSc) and Neural Systems and Computation (MSc) at ETH Zurich, and earned his doctorate (Dr. rer. nat.) at the University of Osnabrück. He specializes in computer simulations, neural modeling, and machine learning, with a focus on deep learning. At Labvanced, he is the software architect supervising technical development.

What drives us

To make rigorous behavioral research accessible to any researcher, anywhere, without forcing a choice between scientific control and practical reach.

Technological Rigor & Innovation Proprietary, peer-reviewed eye tracking. Multiple biosignals captured at once, in the lab or fully remote. Rigorous enough for established paradigms, flexible enough for entirely novel ones. All on one platform.

Growth-Oriented We build in step with the researchers who use Labvanced, shipping new functionality that continually turns designs once thought impossible into something you can build yourself.

Engineered for Complexity Branching logic, real-time multi-participant studies, live hardware integration over WebSocket, and more. Labvanced doesn't force you to simplify your design requirements to fit the tool.

Why researchers trust Labvanced

Peer-Reviewed Precision Labvanced's core measurement is peer-reviewed, including the eye-tracking pipeline that powered the largest webcam eye-tracking study to date, with 10,000+ participants, and timing grounded in peer-reviewed methods for millisecond accuracy.

Committed to Researcher Success Labvanced is committed to researcher success, with tailored support to ensure smooth adoption, customized webinars to deepen expertise with our technologies, and a feature roadmap prioritized around what makes new experimental designs possible.

Data Security & Participant Privacy Data security and participant privacy come first: servers are located in the EU, the platform has passed VAPT (Vulnerability Assessment and Penetration Testing) security testing, and webcam-based technologies like eye tracking run entirely client-side.

Trusted by researchers at 1,500+ universities worldwide

What do researchers say about us?

Dr. Gabriela Markova

University of Vienna
Labvanced provides a lot of tutorials and study templates that makes it really easy to design an online study from scratch. This was the only platform where eye-tracking was available so we could adapt out study. The eye-tracking algorithm has been constantly improved and features for developmental studies were introduced as well.

Dr. Andrew McCandless

University of Toronto
Labvanced was an absolute life-saver for me... Without this online platform, I wouldn't have been able to complete my program requirements. With Labvanced, I succeeded in collecting my data, and the results (both for participant retention and for my research questions) were considerably better than I expected.

Dr. Roberto Petrosino

New York University Abu Dhabi
Labvanced provides a state-of-the-art experiment engine that is fully accessible through its intuitive GUI, eliminating the barrier of programming knowledge. This power, combined with their always-available and highly responsive support team, makes it the best platform for our high-quality online research.

Dr. Giulia Calignano

University of Padua
I was immediately able to build a classical experiment on the platform. I loved that it was easy to use on an interface level and also allows the possibility to use code inside the events. So I started spreading the word in my department.
