Infrastructures

The project involves the establishment of three new laboratory infrastructures that will enhance frontier research in the three research lines.

The laboratories will be developed and networked to enable lines of empirical research that integrate the understanding of technological development processes and the evaluation of impacts on individuals and society, through a systematic analysis of the relationships between technology and human and social factors.

Laboratory of Cognitive Ergonomics in Cyber Physical Systems (CORE LAB)

The laboratory focuses on the study of cognitive ergonomics and conducts experimental studies on human cognitive and physiological reactions, using advanced devices and biometric sensors, in the interaction between individuals and digital technologies during typical work activities in industrial production and logistics contexts, either real or realistically reproduced.

For more information, you can visit the lab page on the Department of Management, Economics and Industial Engineering website.

Laboratory of Behavioural Research in Immersive Environment (BRIEL LAB)

The laboratory enables multimodal and multi-method research on the interaction among individuals, as well as between individuals and digital and virtual environments, with a particular focus on organizational behaviors, learning, content consumption, and office work contexts.
Through tools for biometric analysis of behavior and emotional spectrum of users, it conducts behavioral research activities and high-ecology experimental activities (e.g., spaces for focus groups, reconfigurable spaces to reconstruct life/work experiences).

HumanTech Data Hub

Data repository where to collect and store all the data supporting the HumanTech research program, to offer a unique, simplified tool for data access and discovery.

A tool for researchers at DIG that promotes access and integration of data from heterogeneous sources such as experimental activities conducted in the BRIEL and CORE laboratories or from existing databases, or newly acquired ones, characterized by different access modes and privileges.
