The Human Performance Laboratory, which opened in 1997, contains a range of state-of-the-art equipment. It is the hub of BCOM’s extensive research and is perhaps the most advanced human-performance research facility of any European osteopathic institution. Many BCOM students use these cutting-edge facilities during their research work.
