About

A workshop for members and non-members to learn more about conducting psychobiological research with wearables and secondary datasets.

We will have two themed sessions with speakers covering a range of research in these areas.

There will be panel discussion Q&As to enable delegates to ask individualised questions relevant to their research areas in each session and a final talk at the end of the day on open data.

Attendees can take part either online or in person.

The event will be held at:

  • University of Westminster
    115 New Cavendish St
    W1W 6UW

Please note: the venue is full accessible.
