What are the buildings being used for?
The building houses studios for visual arts students, lecture theatres, offices, advanced digital media facilities and scientific laboratories, including a new Centre for Cognition, Culture and Computation. The Centre brings together multi-disciplinary research on the scientific bases of cognition, with the study of cultural and sociological aspects of human cognition. It will investigate how people learn and remember information to maximise the effectiveness of teaching and learning, and explore the computational processes that underlie everyday processes such as understanding language. Psychologists working in the building will be utilising the facilities to look at genetic, personality and social factors in addiction to drugs, alcohol and smoking, or recognising familiar objects. Work in cognitive anthropology will investigate the influence of culture and language on visual perception.
