SenseLab is a multisensory research environment at Sheridan where experiential design and human science meet. The lab functions simultaneously as a research site, a teaching space, a public resource, and a place for wellbeing. Students help conduct real studies while learning ethical facilitation, sensory documentation, and how research can become design. Our work examines perception, memory, and mood across multiple senses, treating lived experience as a valid form of knowledge alongside measurement.

We share outcomes beyond academic formats through workshops, small exhibitions, and open materials so research can be understood by more than specialists. Participation is collaborative and care-centered, recognizing that studying the senses also means supporting the people who bring them. SenseLab exists to explore how experience becomes meaning and how knowledge can be felt, not only observed.
