Laboratories

Complex Human Systems Research Center is in proposal stage to NIH. It is expected to occupy an addition to the Meese Center. It will have a vestibular rotator installed. The Complex Human Systems Research Center will increase the level and sophistication of the university’s interdisciplinary behavioral science research and provide a platform for behavioral sciences advances that promote health. The center will strengthen research programs in vestibular response and motion sickness, human performance, trauma response, psychophysiology and stress, attention and vigilance developmental cognition, human-robot/human-computer interaction, multimodal communication, STEM learning, and usability testing.
