- Students work together from different psychology programmes, and often collaborate on projects – providing a rich supply of volunteers when students run their own experiments.
We have psychology labs on site, where students and researchers can apply theory to research, analyse complex data and unravel the mysteries of the brain.
To help us understand human behaviour, we have invested in a range of equipment that tracks eye movements, measures physiological responses, and explores the use of Virtual Reality. If you would like to use our facilities, email psychologylab@bucks.ac.uk.
