Our work uses state-of-the-art methods including: functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), electrophysiology (EEG), functional and structural brain imaging (fMRI), Eye-tracking, and behavioural/neuropsychological studies of substance users in order to inform public health policy and harm reduction strategies around substance use.
We also have a ‘Bar laboratory’ facility that allows us to conduct alcohol administration studies within the Psychology Department. The bar lab has been equipped to give the appearance a 'pub', increasing the ecological validity of experimental research. The lab is used for experimental studies funded by ESRC, MRC, the Wellcome Trust, and Alcohol Research UK.
