| Job specification: | You will be part of a large-scale research programme that will: (a) Develop genre-breaking virtual reality (VR) games which integrate biofeedback and evidence-based game mechanics that target decision-making under stress; (b) Test whether these games are effective at improving decision-making skills and reducing stress-related symptoms in police officers; and (c) Apply novel, game-based methodologies, to pinpoint the precise game mechanics responsible for training decision-making under threat. You will be part of the multidisciplinary Games for Emotional & Mental Health (GEMH) lab, an international consortium of researchers, game designers and artists, and the Experimental Psychopathology and Affective Neuroscience (EPAN) lab, which has extensive expertise on the neurobiology and psychophysiology of psychopathology and decision-making. You will help design and evaluate new biofeedback games (based on heart rate and frontal theta oscillations), analyse the data, and report the results in scientific journals and in a doctoral dissertation. You will also report your results at scientific conferences. |
