SPECTRA Labs combine psychology with technologies such as extended realities, gamification and sensory metrics. Labs include the Digital Mental Illness and Neurodevelopmental/Degenerative (MIND) Health Lab (including the the Social Training and Anxiety Research Lab) and the Medical Education Lab. The focus of both labs is on simulation and objective metrics. Both of these themes are aligned to the Heriot-Watt Global Research Institute in Health and Care Technologies.
