The Behavioral Lab is comprised of two 20 seat facilities. Each facility is staffed with a lab coordinator, research assistants and student assistants. The labs operate 5 days a week providing a target sample size of 150 to 200 participants for each experiment. Each hourly session supports from 1 to 12 experiments, determined by complexity.
Both facilities use cloud computing and webcams which are time-synced with the materials being presented. Researchers are able to record and analyze the moment-to-moment reactions of study participants to what they are viewing on-screen.
