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.
