This directed studies course is intended for undergraduate and graduate students who would like to learn more about EEG and ERPs through a hands on independent research project. It is important to note that the student will be expected to work largely independently to complete their project. Students will collect all data with the MUSE EEG system and an iOS device which will be provided.
Note students in this course can enrol in these either EPHE 494: Directed Studies or MEDS 490: Directed Studies. Note, students can only do a maximum of 3.0 units of EPHE 494 and 3.0 units of MEDS 490.
Course Grade
Testing Sessions: 30 TOTAL: 50% (Note: This is a pass or fail requirement)
Research Presentation: 50% TOTAL: 50%
Testing Sessions
Student will test 30 participants as a condition of this Directed Studies course. Note 1: Students must test 30 participants of "good" data. If data quality if poor, then students will be expected to test additional participants. Note 2: This is a pass / fail requirement. If this requirement is not met, the student will be assigned a failing grade for the directed studies project.
Research Presentation
Students will present a summary of their research including a written overview at a venue chosen by the course instructor - typically a laboratory meeting or undergraduate conference.
