CBER OVERVIEW
Established in 2017, our Research Center for Behavioral Science,located at the School of Economics and Management, Wuhan University, is equipped with two main servers and 80 semi-enclosed computer terminals, and utilizes a multi-platform integrated participant management and data collection system to provide an open experimental platform supporting research in economics and marketing. Under the leadership of Professor Lijia Wei, the CBER has developed a highly robust team and mechanism for both laboratory and field experiment operations, and have established extensive scientific research and student training collaborations with numerous oversea scholars and institutions. Currently, we are actively engaged in several AI-related research projects supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).
