Laboratory Facilities:

McCrystal Laboratory for Behavioral Research: Students learn the significance of basic psychological research in the McCrystal Laboratory, a teaching facility which houses up to 60 animals (rats) and is equipped with a foraging arena, a radial arm maze, a running wheel, and operant chambers. Students assist faculty with research and sometimes conduct their own independent studies on learning, memory, decision making and choice behavior.

Neuroscience Resource Center: Behavioral Sciences faculty teach students to perform psychophysiological measurements important to neuroscience research. For instance, students receive technical training in electroencephalography (EEG), electrocardiology (ECG), and electromyography (EMG). Students work with faculty in the Neuroscience Research Center and explore the biological correlates of mental illness and the individual differences in cognitive and information processing styles that underlie learning.
