The Media, Technology, and Social Behavior (MTSB) Research Lab is dedicated to transdisciplinary explorations at the interactions of technology, society, and human communication. We study how people use and interact with new tech, how it shapes our social behaviors, and the ways we communicate in these digital spaces.

Lab co-director: Assistant Professor Jenny Oyallon-Koloski

The mv lab is an embodied research environment that studies the manifestations of human movement in audiovisual, cinematic space by drawing on frameworks from Laban Movement Analysis, film form analysis, computer vision protocols, and visualization theory. The motion-capture mv tool allows a moving agent to interact in real time with a skeleton visualization of their figure movement, while a second agent can manipulate the frame鈥檚 relationship to the virtual skeleton, mimicking the craft of the moving camera. 

The MUSE group studies the connections between globalization and Internet users, those between algorithms and behaviors on social media usage. Methodologically, the group encourages methods that are best suited for the questions at hand. They conduct interviews, analyze passively collected behavioral data, social media data, conduct online and offline experiments and surveys, as well as applied computational methods (machine learning, network analysis, text mining, etc).
 

A collaboration between the University of Illinois and the University of Tennessee, the purpose of this research group is to investigate how much U.S. voters know about political advertising, called political advertising literacy (PAL), and improve their knowledge to effectively cope with misleading political advertising.
