The Experimental Psychology Lab (EPL) is led by Dr. Marios Avraamides. The lab employs post-docs, technicians, and several Ph.D./MA and undergraduate students working on a variety of projects.

In general, EPL conducts research on how people encode, maintain, and update spatial information when they carry out tasks that involve orientation and navigation in the environment. Researchers at EPL employ Virtual Reality technology in service of behavioral research. Recent projects though also involve electrophysiological (EEG) recordings and imaging data from fMRI. EEG studies are conducted at CAN and at the Department of Psychology while fMRI experiments at collaborator sites in other countries. In addition to spatial cognition, the lab conducts, through local and international collaborations, applied research on the use of technology for clinical (e.g., autism) and non-clinical applications (e.g., architecture and interior design).
