The Center seeks to understand the relationship between the human mind, behavior, and society, or in other words the \u201csociality of mind.\u201d Since it was founded in 2007 as a constituent center in the Creative Research Institution at Hokkaido University, CERSS has provided the infrastructure for a wide variety of experimental studies. Topics that have been explored at the center include trust and cooperation, interpersonal and group behavior, economic behavior, social neuroscience, cultural evolution, and environmental behavior. CERSS also serves as a valuable training facility for young scholars across a variety of fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Facility_Usage_Records_of_CERSS_by_Non-Member_Researchers\"><\/span>Facility Usage Records of CERSS by Non-Member Researchers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"ark-block-accordion\" data-icon-type=\"plus\">\n<details class=\"ark-block-accordion__item\" data-ark-acc=\"wrapper\"><summary class=\"ark-block-accordion__title\" data-ark-acc=\"header\"><span class=\"ark-block-accordion__label\">2017<\/span><span class=\"ark-block-accordion__icon\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/summary><div class=\"ark-block-accordion__body ark-keep-mt--s\" data-ark-acc=\"body\">\n<p><strong>Mifune, Nobuhiro<\/strong>&nbsp;(Kochi University of Technology). \u201cPre-emptive strike experiment&#8221;.<em>January, 2018.

By changing the height of the partitions for each desk, researchers can also manipulate the degree of privacy felt by participants.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"284\" src=\"https:\/\/lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp\/cerss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp\/cerss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5.png 600w, https:\/\/lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp\/cerss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-5-300x142.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Worldwide_Network_Experiment_Lab\"><\/span>The Worldwide Network Experiment Lab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This lab has sixteen individual cubicles, with each individual computer connected to a local network making it possible for researchers to conduct research on various interpersonal and group-based interactions, including economic exchange choices in experimental games. Using this setup researchers are able to manipulate a variety of social parameters and examine<br>how specific social interactions are affected as a result. The network is also connected to the internet, which enables researchers to conduct large scale experiments that involve participants from off-campus sites, including other countries.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"317\" src=\"https:\/\/lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp\/cerss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-6.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp\/cerss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-6.png 600w, https:\/\/lynx.let.hokudai.ac.jp\/cerss\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/image-6-300x159.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:100px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_PerceptionSensation_Systems_Lab\"><\/span>The Perception\/Sensation Systems Lab<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>This lab enables researchers to precisely measure perceptual and physiological data in a controlled setting.
