    The Department of Behavioural and Cognitive Sciences assembles researchers from psychology, cognitive sciences, and economics. Our goal is to understand fundamental aspects of human cognition and behaviour, and how these relate to societal and individual-level challenges.<\/p>\n\n\n

      \nThree institutes, 11 laboratories<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      Our research is organized in three research institutes and 11 research groups, covering a wide spectrum of topics related to health and behaviour, cognitive science and assessment, and lifespan development, family, and culture. We also employ a broad variety of empirical methods. We run the EPSYLON laboratory network of 11 shared labs with state-of-the-art experimental set-up ranging from EEG and psychophysiology to media- and user labs for human-computer interaction research.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
