Behavioral Lab Location
The Behavioral Lab is housed in the Policy Simulation Laboratory Complex. The Policy Simulation Laboratory provides a flexible integrated venue to study decision making, and for applying technology-based tools to improve our ability to make wise choices. It consists of a group of electronically networked rooms that capitalize on emerging technologies to help policy makers and other interested parties better understand the consequences of one’s actions. What makes this facility unique is the close integration of the various system components to create a
flexible, coordinated facility for studying decision making, and for helping communities to visualize the consequences of policy actions. All of the rooms are linked through the use of computer networks, so we can harness the power of modern technology to help communities make better decisions. The Policy Simulation Laboratory Complex is made up of the SimLab, a Presentation Hall and a Large Conference room. The SimLab is a computer lab with 26 computer workstations and advanced audio-visual capabilities. The Group Decision Rooms are small conference rooms that seat up to 12 people who make decisions while interacting face-to-face. The Presentation Hall is a 125-seat auditorium with advanced audio-visual aids and in-seat voting capabilities.
Behavioral Lab Equipment/Technology Resources
TC2 3D Body Scanner
The best-in-class full body scanner used in the fashion, medical and fitness industries. The scanner will scan and process 1000’s of different measurements in seconds. Offering full privacy scanning with a visual avatar interface. A qualified operator will be available in the lab to enable trouble free operation. The use of the 3D scanner requires a signed usage acknowledgement form for all users if they not part of an IRB approved study.
