Business increasingly needs accurate, actionable research – and more and more, the research they need requires active interaction and engagement with human participants.

The industry-leading, innovative research performed in this lab can address critical societal needs through the transfer and application of knowledge and can help organizations and individuals make effective, efficient decisions.
