We are pleased to announce the first edition of the BExR Research Group Workshop, a focused two-day meeting dedicated to the intersection of behavioural economics and extended reality (XR) technologies. The event brings together an international group of researchers to explore how immersive environments can be leveraged to study and model human decision-making in ecologically valid contexts.
The workshop will feature invited talks by leading scholars from economics, behavioural science, and human-computer interaction, as well as a session showcasing ongoing research and live demonstrations from the BExR Research Group.
