The Humanimal Interaction Laboratory is in the Department of Psychology at Bemidji State University. Students and faculty conduct basic and applied research on the processes and outcomes of humans and animals interacting. Our work is guided by the principles of One Health - acknowledging the interconnection between humans, other animals, plants, and the environment. Current projects include:
