In the £26 million Tom Reilly Building, you’ll find psychology students recording brain activity with EEG and fNIRS and using virtual reality systems and a driving simulator to test out simulated activities. See more of the facilities at LJMU's School of Psychology.
Within the Research Centre for Brain and Behaviour we are involved in research which looks at perception, attention, emotion, learning and memory, sensory and motor processes, and includes animal models of neurobehavioral research. We investigate cognitive and brain mechanisms in psychologically and neurologically intact animals and humans, and the disruption of these processes caused by drugs, brain damage, ageing or atypical development.
The sport psychology provision at LJMU looks to develop not only student athletes understanding of psychological principles, but also their motivations, values and behaviours which can in turn contribute to improvements in not only athletic performance but overall life satisfaction.
Research is a key priority for the School of Psychology. We collaborate with academics across the world. FInd out more about the research the School of PSychology at LJMU undertakes.
