The PLAN Lab opened in January of 2016. It is a CFI-funded laboratory space dedicated to researching the cognitive and neuropsychological aspects of psychopathology and stroke. The space is located on the ground floor of the Sciences building on the UBC Okanagan campus. The lab is equipped with EEG, eye-tracking and behavioural testing  equipment. All data collection computers are equipped with experimental software supporting the respective methodologies. Laboratory space is subdivided into four rooms: 1) a large training and analysis room  2) an EEG testing room 3) an eye-tracking room and 4) a behavioural testing room . The PLAN Lab facilities offer a unique training environment for both graduate and undergraduate students interested in pursuing research in clinical and neuropsychology.
