Who We Are
We’re the Advanced Lab in Experiments in CognitioN (ALiEN) — a curious team of researchers, assistants, and creative thinkers exploring how people learn, focus, and adapt!
Get to know us better here! 😁
What We Do
We design innovative behavioural experiments, create gamified research tasks, and collaborate on everything from developmental studies to playful case studies.
Our lab specializes in experimental psychology using PsychoPy as our primary research platform. We operate across two key tracks:
Developmental Track: Focused on early cognitive and language development, we design studies to understand how infants and children acquire, process, and respond to information from their environment.
Attention & Cognition Track: This track explores perceptual processing, sustained attention, and cognitive mechanisms in older children and adults. We develop tasks that examine how people focus, react, and adapt across various cognitive loads and social settings.
Why We Do It
We believe science should be engaging, accessible, and a little fun — because experiments that spark curiosity can lead to the biggest discoveries!
