Catalog Description

Students conduct research under the direction of a faculty member on problems in cognition and brain sciences. This course provides academic credit for independent studies under the direction of a faculty member. The scope and direction of the studies are determined by the student (or small group of students) in consultation with the instructor. Within the Decision Processes Laboratory, projects may include behavioral experimentation, cognitive modeling, and meta-science investigations. Students are expected to engage in sustained, self-directed inquiry and contribute to ongoing research programs.
