Head - Behavioural Lab (BLab)

  • BLab leverages cutting-edge tools in analytics, and bio-technology ecosystem to advance research works in behavioural science. BLab explores several pertinent and intricate phenomena pertaining to cognition, affect and human behaviour in work and non-work context.
  • Some of the ongoing works employ virtual reality (VR) simulations of work scenarios within a controlled setting. We integrate biofeedback data, such as electroencephalogram (EEG), electrodermal activity (EDA), and eye-tracking technology, to capture in-depth insights into individual and environmental influences
  • Factual surveys, perceptual surveys, large-scale field studies, focus group discussions, and other qualitative enquiries complement our understanding of human behaviour in real-world work contexts.
