Human Behavior Lab

The Human Behavior Lab brings together leading scientists from many disciplines, bound together through a common interest: human behavior. The Human Behavior Lab helps answer questions about human decision-making and provides groundbreaking insights into health, education, and marketing tactics for a variety of fields and industry sectors. The lab can quickly and accurately collect biometric data, including eye-tracking, facial expression analysis (reading emotions), neural signals (electroencephalography), galvanic skin response (GSR), and heart and respiration rates. The result is a greater understanding of how context and emotions influence human behavior. This lab is now synergistic hub at Texas A&M University for cutting-edge research, interdisciplinary collaboration and unique high-impact learning experiences with increasing competitiveness for external funding.
