MoBiSoc Research Lab
The Mobile Bio-Social Research Lab at Cardiff University is a collection of researchers interested in topics related to mobile and social computing, human behaviour, networks and sociality. We're focused on the impact of functional developments of mobile devices, looking primarily at the smartphone-user relationship.
