Udaipur (Rajasthan) [India], August 1: The Indian Institute of Management Udaipur (IIMU) is delighted to announce the inauguration of its state-of-the-art Behavioural Lab, established in collaboration with the Government of Rajasthan under the aegis of the Department of Information Technology & Communication (IT&C).

This collaboration with the Government of Rajasthan underscores our commitment to cutting-edge research. The lab’s advanced technologies, like EEG and Eye Tracking, will propel academic research and offer insights for policy development and market applications. We are excited about the possibilities this facility opens for researchers, policymakers, and industry professionals.”
The Behavioural lab is envisioned as a pioneering hub for interdisciplinary research, advancing the understanding of human behaviour and decision-making through cutting-edge neurophysiological tools like EEG, Eye Tracking, Galvanic Skin Response, and driving innovation in academic research, government policy, and market applications. The facility is expected to benefit various stakeholders such as faculty, researchers, and PhD students across universities, government departments, and business professionals across industries, especially MSMEs and startups.
