In Person
- The Human Memory Lab is located on the UC Davis campus in room 1324 of the Social Sciences and Humanities Building (fondly known as the "Deathstar"), adjacent to the Memorial Union and Young Hall. Please see below for driving directions.
- From the passage between Young Hall and Social Sciences, look for a single-story, square, cement portion of the building that juts out towards Young Hall. The glass door, which is just beyond the small grassy area with a tree in the center, has a key pad with several buzzers on it. Please ring the bell for room 1324 and someone will be with you shortly.
- The lab can be difficult to find. If you are scheduled for an appointment at the HML, please allow yourself additional time to find the lab and bring the lab phone number with you in case you get lost.
