Cognitive neuroscience, specifically regarding attention speed and visual perception.
Student Name: Thomas Chow. UCD Department: Center for Mind and Brain. UCD Mentor: Ron Mangun.
This project uses a fundamental method, called the subtractive method, in order to determine how fast the brain responds and performs certain tasks. The data from recording the speed of the brain waves will help Thomas identify the type of brain wave and also possibly locate the area of the brain that releases the waves. Thomas will be extracting data from human subjects, and analyzing possible biases or influences that may change data results.
