Tutorials

Whereas the general presentations at the conference deal with new and innovative methods in behavioral research, tutorials focus on teaching existing methods. Tutorials provide a valuable opportunity to instruct participants of Measuring Behavior 2010 in specific methods, techniques and equipment for behavioral research.

Tutorials usually last 90 minutes. We encourage tutors to present the material in an interactive way, with discussions and/or hands-on elements.
