| Facility title | Overview |
|---|---|
| Brain and behaviour laboratory | The purpose of the Brain and Behaviour Laboratory is to develop a feasible and viable intervention for cognitive decline that will actively change the landscape in care for those with neurodegenerative diseases and cognitive deficits. |
| Investigating health, wellbeing and social processes | Our Health and Social Psychology Lab facilities allow us to conduct world leading experimental, quantitative and qualitative research in health and social psychology. |
| Investigating human nutrition | The Human Appetite Research Unit features a range of world-leading facilities and resources which enable the innovative research work of its groups – Appetite Control and Energy Balance Group, Nutrition and Behaviour Group and Infant Feeding Group. |
| Investigating neural function | The School houses several labs devoted to understanding neural correlates of behaviour in both typical and patient populations. There are two EEG systems and an fNIRS system for recording brain activity, in addition to TMS and tACS systems for modulating brain function in order to determine the direct effects on behaviour. Research topics include; the ageing brain, understanding pain processing, visual perception and the effects of nutrition on brain function. |
| Investigating responses | Our Sensorimotor Laboratory facilities include state of the art research equipment and resources designed to record high-resolution motor responses to a range of motor, cognitive and sensory tasks. |
| Investigating virtual worlds | Several groups use virtual reality in order to investigate a diverse range of topics, such as motor control, pain processing and driving behaviours. The School houses a driving lab, a whole room walking virtual reality system, as well as multiple mobile systems. |
| Psychology general research facilities | The School of Psychology has a range of facilities and resources available for undertaking research. |
