- Topic: Experimental Research in Social Science and Business New Frontiers in Behavioral Research: Perspectives from Neuroscience and New Technologies
The UNSW Business School experimental research laboratory (BizLab) and the UNSW Business School research network on Behavioral Insights for Business and Policy are hosting a half-day Workshop on Experimental Research in Social Science and Business on Friday, November 11th. The theme for the workshop is New Frontiers in Behavioral Research: Perspectives from Neuroscience and New Technologies.
The workshop will offer an up-to-date discussion of behavioral research in the social sciences and business that variously utilise functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), eye-tracking, and virtual reality (VR). Research employing these technologies will be presented by leading researchers in the field, and the opportunities and challenges associated with each technology will then be discussed and debated in panel sessions. We welcome academics from across the business disciplines and social sciences who are interested in experimental methods and interdisciplinary exchange. It is anticipated that both faculty and PhD students from across Australia will attend the workshop, and there will be plenty of time for informal networking.
