Topics

The conference is open for papers about any topic related to the measurement of the behavior of people and animals. The focus should be on tools and methods, not on results.

To get an idea of topics previously covered,  see last year’s conference program. Delegates have already submitted ideas for sessions on human factors in aviation, nutrition and behavior, precision livestock, studies in less canonical models and measuring food experience.

See the previous conference program
