The Human Computer Interaction Lab (HCI Lab) Institute of Psychology | University of Basel

Abstract

The Faculty of Psychology has the distinction of being the youngest faculty of the University of Basel’s seven faculties. It was founded in 2003, 25 years after the creation of an Institute of Psychology. This young faculty has quickly developed into a thriving hub for psychological research. Its research program, emanating from nine labs, focuses on human development and mental health, social cognition and decision-making, and neuroscience. Human Computer Interaction is a focus at the Center for Cognitive Psychology and Methodology. Human Computer Interaction Science (HCI) investigates processes, dialogues and actions of users who interact with a machine (often a computer) in a given setting using various methods such as: Interactive Prototyping, Expert Evaluation, Usability-Testing and Eyetracker-Analysis.
