Level-up: tDCS research assistant, Phase 1 (Sept-Oct, 2022)
I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to learn how to collect and statistically analyze data from participants who will complete an attention task before, during, and after 20 minutes of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). These data will help us better understand how different parts of the brain control attention. The student will gain research experience using non-invasive brain stimulation and develop their data analysis skills.
Level-up: tDCS research assistant, Phase 2 (Nov-Dec, 2022)
I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to learn how to collect and statistically analyze data from participants who will complete an attention task before, during, and after 20 minutes of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). These data will help us better understand how different parts of the brain control attention. The student will gain research experience using non-invasive brain stimulation and develop their data analysis skills.
Level-up: tDCS research assistant, Phase 3 (Jan-Feb, 2023)
I have a position available for 1 student for 80 hours to learn how to collect and statistically analyze data from participants who will complete an attention task before, during, and after 20 minutes of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS). These data will help us better understand how different parts of the brain control attention. The student will gain research experience using non-invasive brain stimulation and develop their data analysis skills.
Assessing Methods to Reduce Student Stress
This project is designed to assess the efficacy of various activities that are promoted to reduce stress in a University-level population (e.g., mindful colouring, puzzling, animal visitation programs, etc.). Activity participants will complete up to 2-hours of assessment using psychological (e.g., self-report) and physiological (e.g., blood pressure monitoring, respiration rate, etc.) measures for stress, both pre- and post-task. Due to the time consuming and complex nature of the assessments, a team student research technicians are required. By the end of the project, student research technicians will have completed a large number of assessments on participants under a variety of conditions, and completed data organization and storage tasks.
