The Study is one of the side rooms in the Back Hall. It is located at the top of the stairs, next to the Guest Room. It bears a resemblance to the Archives.
Information
The study is where Alexander performed anatomy studies and experimentation on animals to extract vitae. This is observed in a flashback where Alexander is heard sawing open a dog. In the end, he gave up his study on animals to focus on humans, as they provide more vitae when tortured. Occasionally, you will hear the miserable barking of a dog. On low sanity, the portrait of Alexander will appear horribly disfigured.
As Daniel walks down the corridor the Shadow will roar and the shaking breaks and weakens one of the windows.
The cycle flow control rod for the Machine Room is kept in the study. Unfortunately, a cave-in blocked the room with the rod, so Daniel must break a window (the weakened one on the far left) and hop along the edge of the building to get there. The Shadow aware of him will immediately overtake the nearby forest, consuming the area and felling pines trees that will frighten Daniel. In this section of the Study there is one of Alexander's Memory Capsules.
The phonograph
There is also a phonograph like the ones in Amnesia: Justine, containing a recording of a woman accusing Daniel of killing her, but also offering him redemption in exchange for answers. It is unclear however in what version of the game the phonograph is present or what the player has to do to make it appear. As of version 1.2 with Justine completed, the phonograph isn't present (confirmed).

"Daniel, you killed me! You took my life away! If only you realize what you've done, what violence you have forced upon history! You have to make it right, you selfish little boy! I am offering you redemption, but I need you to give me the answers. Rid yourself of guilt, tell me at once! The man who escaped death in Grenoble, who is he? Who is hunting you, and who is the banished one? You laughed when I told you I would call on Gabriel for help.You know him! Where did you meet him? You are slipping, your mind is questioning my existence! My request is sincere Daniel, this is all real! Where did you leave your sister? Daniel, you are going mad! Go home, call on her, bless her name, and let her bring you home to England! Listen, if there is any will in you left, answer my questions and let them make a name for yourself"
