Flex lab

The flex lab (room K.03A) can be used for experiments involving recording video of the participant, and/or exposure to stimuli in a learning phase. The lab provides digital audio and video recording equipment and an experiment computer connected to a large display in the test area. The test area can be sectioned off by curtains to provide a non-distracting testing area for infants. A remote controlled pan-tilt-zoom camera is situated below the test display. The test environment is child friendly.

This facility can be reserved through the Online Babylab Reservation system; contact Desiree Capel for details.
