Laboratories & Equipment

Research is conducted in specialist laboratory and office space that was purpose designed to allow the flexibility for conducting multiple simultaneous controlled trials. Cognitive function is assessed in 4 computer enabled and networked laboratories, with flexible solid divider wall systems to allow the expansion of individual rooms for larger projects.

We also have a dedicated EEG suite for monitoring electrical brain activity and Near Infrared Spectroscopy for the assessment of cerebral blood flow.

These facilities are complemented by an ‘in house’ wet-lab equipped for a wide range of physiological and other in vitro assays. Naturally, we also provide a comfortable waiting environment for our participants.
