Complex Human Data Hub

The Complex Human Data Hub aims to use technology to build a new kind of psychological science - one that is intimately tied to the real world. We combine the rich data available from the technology we have at our fingertips with sophisticated computational modelling. This enables us to better explain, predict, and influence human behaviour on multiple levels, from individuals to populations.
