Virtual tours for the School of Psychology
How to use the virtual tour
Our virtual tours work in a similar way to Google Maps. You will see some icons on the tours to help you with your journey through our Faculty.
The Play button will open a brief snippet of the areas you can navigate on your tour.
Use the Explore 3D Space button to switch to a first-person view of the tour.
The View Floor Plan button will show you a birds-eye view of the floor you're touring. Use it to get an overview of the floor and hop to specific areas.
The Floor Selector button allows you to move between different floors on your tour.
While viewing a tour, you can select several coloured icons to help you interact with the tour and get more information.
The blue dot icon will show you written information about the area that you're currently in.
The red dot icon will show you a video.
The purple dot icon will allow you to navigate between the different buildings that make up the tour.
The green dot icon will allow you to hop over to different parts of the tour.
Take the virtual tour of the School of Psychology
Make your own way around the James Parsons Building and the Tom Reilly Building
In the £26 million Tom Reilly Building, you’ll find psychology students recording brain activity using EEG and fNIRS. They also use virtual reality systems and a driving simulator to test out simulated activities.
Plus psychology students and research staff take advantage of:
-
The Psychophysiology Lab is equipped with eye-tracking, facial recognition software and game consoles. It also features an fNIR system, which monitors changes in cortical oxygenation and deoxygenation in the brain. Other equipment includes GSR transducer sets and an electro-oculogram amplifier for recording eye movements. The lab also houses evoked response equipment.
- The Sensory and Affective Neuroscience Lab houses a Medoc Pathway Thermal Sensory Analyser, which is used in pain studies. Featuring a Robotic Tactile Stimulator for research into affective touch. We also have an olfactometer for smell research, as well as microeurography capabilities. Researchers use this to record and microstimulate individual sensory nerves that innervate the skin.
- The driving simulator features a driver console with a steering wheel and pedals for braking, clutch and acceleration. A separate tester console includes a programming monitor.
- The Appetite Research Lab is fully equipped with a food preparation kitchen and testing area.
- Our Human Performance Testing Lab is a dedicated general purpose laboratory used for physiological measurements. The associated software includes EMG, EEG, ECG, GSR, blood flow, air flow, breathing rate, Chart 4.0 Analysis.
