Research Assistants Needed

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 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 the Spring 2013 semester to help run visits with infants and adults.  In addition, students may assist with data entry, coding of behavioral data, and inspection of the EEG.  PSYC 479 credits available. Requirements:  min 3.0 GPA, 9 hrs/week, 2 semester commitment.  Prereq: PSYC 200. If interested, please contact Tanya Tavassolie at cdlactionstudy@umd.edu. For more info about this project, visit: http://www.education.umd.edu/EDHD/faculty/Fox/mirrorneurons.php
