Samuel Bennett has an extended history of working in psychological research working as a cognitive specialist, associate tutor, and Lecturer in Psychology. He has worked across multiple fields and focuses on multi-disciplinary research using cognitive, biological, social, economic, and computing frameworks to help support his interests. This has also given him specialised knowledge with lab-based, field-based, and online platformed research frameworks allowing for an applied teaching style by delving on past experience using neuroimaging [EEG, NIRS], eye tracking, neurostimulation [tDCS, TMS], and perception [VR, AR] equipment.

Key Areas of Research Include: Hormonal and behavioural analysis for animal welfare, AI in healthcare, robotics for human-robot interactions in healthcare, active learning models in education, prosocial and 'antisocial' behaviour determinants, and behavioural influences on neurodevelopment, neurodegeneration, and perception [alcohol and drug taking].

Methods: Qualitative, Quantitative, Mixed Methods, Lab-Based
