Centres & Labs

Our psychology and neuroscience faculty members conduct research in laboratories, alongside doctoral students, post-doctoral fellows, and undergraduate research assistants. 

From visual development to sexual health, lab-based research allows faculty to connect with Dalhousie students and outside community members to better their knowledge in their field.  

Undergraduates looking to participate in research studies for class credit or other payment can access the list of available studies through SONA.
