Human Behavior Assessment

Extensive software developments made by the BMC have made for more advanced data collection and monitoring in observational settings. Such naturalistic approaches to basic and clinical human research may now benefit from a wide variety of web-based data collection software and protected-wireless transmission of data. Once data is uploaded, custom-developed databases manage data for later analysis.   The applications are applicable across a wide range of ages, from birth to early childhood classroom settings and beyond.
