Pioneering research in psychology

Home to a number of research labs and housing a range of specialist facilities and equipment used for non-invasive research, the Department of Psychology at Essex is where innovation meets insight.

Our labs and equipment

Both staff and students at the Department of Psychology enjoy access to a wide range of equipment and specialist labs that enable us to accomplish our research mission of “Understanding Our Place in the World.”

At Colchester campus both our main Psychology building and our Centre for Brain Science house research facilities, including experimental labs and specialist equipment such as EEG, TMS, and eye-tracking hardware, providing robust support for gathering and analysing both quantitative and qualitative data.

Our team brings a wealth of expertise and in-depth knowledge, ensuring the delivery of high-quality, expert services. With diverse backgrounds and a versatile skillset, our technicians are equipped to support your psychological investigations and analysis. Seamlessly integrated into both research and educational programs, our staff is available to assist with accessing equipment and testing facilities, enhancing our student's learning and research experience.
