Research training

Throughout the year, the HSS Lab runs a series of workshops on recruitment (using SONA), online surveys & experiments and conducting in-person & online interviews/focus groups. Workshop recordings and additional resources are uploaded to the Lab Workshops page on the Psychology Portal on SharePoint.

Lab taster sessions

The lab runs taster workshops on eye-tracking, psychophysiological recordings (skin conductance, heart-rate, EEG), virtual Reality in psychology experiments, Computer experiments, Online surveys and Qualitative research.

Each sessions is about 20 minutes long and gives you the opportunity to learn more about the equipment and methods specific to your research project. These are small-group workshops (up to 5 people) which means we’ll have plenty of time to answer questions specific to each project.

These workshops don’t provide comprehensive training. The workshops are meant for students who feel like they would benefit from an overview of the relevant equipment and have some pointers on research design. Workshops that will train you up on the use of SONA and the online survey tool will be run throughout January.
