Hands-on experience of industry-leading technology and techniques, together with simulated and actual work-related experiences helps bridge the gap between learning and real-world practice.
Digitally enabled and technologically advanced, our facilities take you out of the classroom so you can experience the feel of real-world working and prepare for your future career. You can use VR to monitor anything from eye tracking and motor control to personal interaction or the physiological changes from controlled hazards.
Our extensive specialist equipment includes lab-based and mobile electroencephalography (EEG), transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) and transcranial electrical stimulation (TES), and biometric signal recording. You can monitor temperature-induced pain stimuli or test body responses including heart rate, galvanic skin response.
In our children’s lab, you can discover the work we do with volunteer families on campus and out in the community. Previous research topics have, for example, included exploring the impact of TV screen time on children’s behaviour, assessing creativity, and the role of psychology in preventing young children from suffering dog bites.
