Study Systems and Skills

CRAB research takes place across a range of vertebrate and invertebrate study systems in the lab, on campus, and at field sites in the UK and across the world.

We have access to a variety of equipment to facilitate experiments and to collect data, including a 3-D printer, invertebrate flight cages, an infrared thermal camera, the Atlas reverse GPS system, biologgers, and including equipment housed within the Psychology Department, such as a driving simulator, bio-behavioural lab spaces, EEG, TMS, eye tracking, and fMRI.

We’re also home to experts in theoretical approaches to the study of behaviour (game theory, dynamic programming, evolutionary simulations), and in the application of social network analysis.
