      I would say horology, which is the study of watches/time.

      During my degree I had a lecturer who studied psychology and dance in the US! Her name is Professor Emily Cross and she does lots of really cool work looking at dance and art 😊

      I have a few ideas…

      – Psycholinguistics (The psychology of language) – I studied this during my degree

      – Entomology (the study of insects) – I have heard of some interesting research on the psychology/intelligence of bees for example

      – Biological/brain imaging methods

      – Astrobiology (this could link with another student’s question about psychology in space)

      – Cognitive Science

      – Scientific Illustration
