The lab has close links with the Group of Cognition and Neuroscience, Forensic Centre and Quality of Life Group at the School of Psychology. We benefit from state-of-the-art facilities including a Child Observation Suite and Tobii and Eye link 1000 eye trackers. We do a lot of our work with local hospitals, services, schools and other international universities.
