RESEARCH

In a recent scientometric study ( Boyack, Klavans & Borner, 2005), psychology was identified as one of seven hub sciences, sciences that are central and influence a number of other disciplines. It is perhaps no surprise then that researchers in the School of Psychology in NUI Galway are involved in research in a variety of areas from analyzing basic functions of the brain and eyes to exploring the very personal experiences of people in pain or suffering from health problems. Our main research strengths are in four general areas:

• Clinical, Behavioural, and Biological Psychology
• Lifespan Development
• Perception, Cognition & Action
• Psychology and Health

Researchers in the School are also involved in two university research centers and an interdisciplinary research group:

• Centre for Pain Research
• Centre for Research on Occupational and Life Stress

Research seminar series

The School hosts a Research Seminar Series on Fridays during term time.  This month, we have four exciting seminars addressing issues such as Idealization of Marriage and Spouses, Enactive Perception, Autism and Mental Structure.  Check out the details here. (updated on the 1st of November, 2009).
