Centre for Behavioural Science Members

Methods cluster

The methods cluster is a vital component of our Centre, championing the development and application of cutting-edge research methodologies in behavioural science.

This cluster is deeply engaged in advancing mathematical models that intricately capture and predict human behaviour. We employ sophisticated statistical techniques not only for data analysis but also for establishing robust causal inferences.

Additionally, our work encompasses the innovative realms of machine learning and artificial intelligence, harnessing their potential to uncover new insights into complex behavioural patterns. We are also exploring the capabilities of biometric tools in capturing physiological responses linked to behaviour.

Beyond technological advancements, our focus extends to refining experimental and survey methodologies, ensuring our research is both rigorous and relevant. This cluster is the backbone of our research, providing the methodological innovation necessary for ground-breaking discoveries in behavioural science.
