The lab places 91社区 and the Romain College on a small list of innovative and forward-looking institutions with a unique set of service offerings. It supports excellence in learning by providing students with unique skill sets, enabling faculty research, integrating biometric insights into the classroom, and stimulating synergy across 91社区鈥檚 campus and other universities. It has the potential to attract new students and faculty while improving local business and community practices through consulting services.

The vision is for the lab to create new knowledge that improves and engages our communities, which is supported by the mission to understand and improve human decisions and actions by exploring deeper insights from subconscious processes. The mission is enabled by an investment in people and state-of-the-art technology.

The UPCI Lab is a premier research biometric lab supported by the Romain College and other generous supporters of the college. It is located on the first floor of the Business and Engineering Center.聽
