We have quite a few live studies going on in the lab just now. If you're keen to see what kind of work we do, you might like to volunteer in an online study. If that sounds good to you, help us out here - it should only take about 20 minutes or so. 🙂

There are questions about UK politics, so you should live in the UK to take part, and should NOT be in Dr Knowles's first-year psych class. 👍
