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.
Read case studies to find out about the type of research the Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology is involved in.
The Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology pursue knowledge and seek evidence in the areas of: social behaviour, ecology and conservation; human variation and adaptability; human evolution; and forensic anthropology. Find out more about each specific area of interest.
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 Exercise Metabolism and Adaptation Research Group within RISES are involved in health, wellbeing, recovery and sporting performance. Our research into exercise metabolism and adaptation is applicable to the design of interventions that improve human health.
In the Brain and Behaviour Research Group within RISES, we study human motor behaviour from the neural level through to perception and cognition. Our two main areas of research are sensorimotor neuroscience and expert performance and learning.
LJMU’s varied programme of professional development courses offers individuals and organisations a range of opportunities to enable professional people to develop their career prospects and meet business objectives in a way that doesn't interfere with their working life.
Our interest lies in the evolution of animal societies and the interactions that occur within these societies and their link to emotion, cognition and communication. We primarily study primates (including humans) but also other species including birds. Find out more about the Social Behaviour, Ecology and Conservation Research Group's work, collaborations, publications and meet the research team.
Some of the members within the Research Centre in Evolutionary Anthropology and Palaeoecology present their research findings on television programmes, including National Geographic, and at various conferences. Watch videos about human evolution, conservation strategies, animal behaviour and forensic practices.
