Within the Psychology Research Group, we are proud to consider ourselves as a supportive and collegiate team. We are continuously developing and expanding our research capacity and our research culture to deliver excellent, theory-informed, and applied research outputs.<\/p>\n

CEDAR is our new Research Centre: the Centre for Mind and Creativity Research, led by Dr Marina Wimmer. The aims of the centre are to work collaboratively and across disciplines to investigate:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. How humans creatively and cognitively flexibly adapt to frequent environmental changes<\/li>\n
  2. How the knowledge from human cognition can be used in the design of the built environment, software, and machines<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In recent years we have watched our research culture grow, with an increasing number of postgraduate students, research assistants, and research interns joining our team, to create a thriving research community.\u00a0We work on both theory driven and applied research, with the majority of our research having a strong multidisciplinary focus. We have existing collaborative links with non-psychologists within and out with the university, and with non-academic stakeholders too, to add real-world, applied value to our research.<\/p>\n

    We offer methodological expertise such as quantitative (statistical) expertise, qualitative expertise, and in developing and analysing applied, mixed methods projects. Our key research clusters are Forensic Psychology<\/em> and\u00a0Applied Cognition.<\/em> However, our staff research across more areas than these, working with other groups within and out with the university, with some notable examples including occupational psychology, social psychology, and developmental psychology.<\/p>\n

    To support our research we have custom-designed psychology labs. These boast an observation lab, a 3D\/4D lab, mobile and stationary eye-tracking equipment, a visual perception lab, and a neuroimaging laboratory (for fNIRS). We have a number of flexible lab rooms that can be adjusted to suit specific research projects, and our award winning psychology technician is highly trained and skilled in the key hard- and software for sophisticated experiments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
