DIS students are vital for the BRAINS lab mission and provide the volunteer with invaluable experience and preparation for graduate school. Students with interest in EEG and other psychophysiology (e.g., SCR, EKG, EMG) methods are especially encouraged to apply. DIS typically have multiple responsibilities:
​
Common activities:
-
Reading and summarizing journal articles on relevant topics
-
Entering data and learning statistical computer programs (e.g., SPSS)
-
Participating in lab trainings (e.g., how to score rating scales, data collection trainings, etc.)
-
Running participants through experimental procedures
-
Creating research posters for conference presentation
-
Weekly lab meetings
​
​
General Notes
-
Students should plan on spending at least 9 hours per week in the lab. The more time you are able to devote to laboratory activities, the more useful your experience will be.
-
Students must be able to work in the lab for at least two semesters in a row (i.e., spring/summer, summer/fall, or fall/spring).
-
An E-mail account that is checked regularly will be required.
