WHO WE ARE
We are a team of psychologists, designers and artists from The New School who are transforming academic research methodology, using design-led thinking and brain science.
WHAT WE DO
2
Address social and mental health issues by combining methods from experimental research, statistics, and psychology, with practices of design led approaches
3
Using design-led processes we aim to create new research ideas and inform current methods in experimental psychology
WHY WE DO WHAT WE DO
The human population now interacts with increasingly complex cultural, technological, and economic forces; traditional academic research methodology is no longer adequate to address complex global challenges. By exploring this shift, the lab contextualizes the pressures to maintain specialization in research and the forces that currently challenge normative and canonical methodologies.
