The department has recently undergone renovations of our lab space. Our well-equipped laboratory facilities are housed with the other sciences in the Haldeman-Thiessen Science Center. The department human experimentation facilities include group processes rooms, as well as individual performance testing areas. We also have an animal laboratory, and a computer laboratory (with access to the campus-wide computer network). 

	Demonstrating her senior research project, Jen Paris (far left) asked this first year student (far right) to complete this puzzle blindfolded. Dr. Grahe was checking to see if the pieces were fitting correctly.
	Helping her complete the puzzle was this instructor who could tell her what to do, but not touch the pieces or the puzzle. Jen timed their performance and then measured their attitudes after they were done.
	Jon McClain (standing) conducted an online study measuring social norms on e-mail. Most participants did not complete the study in the lab.
	Dan Sparks measured how taking breaks affected performance. Here he is showing Heidi Kimball the details of his experiment.
	This is our main lab which doubles as  8 individual rooms or a grand room partially pictured here.
	Our primary classroom has been fitted with up-to-date AV technology so that our instructors can access the internet, cable, and a VCR at the push of a button. We have recently purchased video equipment, including cameras and an editing deck, for research purposes.

If you choose to visit our department (which we strongly encourage), you will notice our hallways are decorated with classic perceptual illusions and quotes. Here are some examples. Do you recognize them? (Hold your mouse over the image for a description.)
	Psi Chi painted this hemisphere view of the brain and labeled the lobes and some other special areas.
