ESSEXLab is a new facility at the University of Essex to run a range of
interactive social science experiments.
Experiments have a major advantage over observational data: subjects can
be randomly assigned into treatments and control groups and the effect of a
particular treatment can be estimated statistically.
We are looking for participants to take part in experiments.
