About program
It is an interdisciplinary graduate program that combines psychology, physiology, and IT. The disciplines are combined with the scientific process. With a solid theoretical base from the basic sciences, research is carried out in the cyberpsychology lab and has maximum applied utility. The range of problems that we work on in our lab is difficult to cover in two words - from studying human behavior in virtual environment to decision-making processes of purchasing, for example, a new smartphone. All of these problems have a request from real business and production.read more
