The Child Development Lab, under the direction of Dr. Nathan Fox, is currently investigating the development of the Mirror Neuron System in the first year of life. To do this, we collect video and EEG data from both infants and adults while producing simple motor acts, and while observing these actions performed by others. We are seeking highly motivated, upper-level students for Summer 2012 to help with detail-oriented coding of behavioral data. In addition, students may also assist with the running of infant and adult studies, data entry, and inspection of the EEG. Requirements:
Minimum 3.0 GPA, 9 hrs/week, 2 semester commitment. Prerequisite: PSYC 200.
