Quantifying visual consciousness

This project is ongoing.

We would like to design experiments for quantifying the level of consciousness on human subjects (Parkinson's patients) undergo brain surgery. These experiment will apply visual stimulation presented on a laptop computer in the OR. We are looking for students with programming skills in PYTHON or MATLAB and interested in neuroscience and/or studying consciousness. The project should be fun and it provides plenty of room for creativity. Those who are interested but do not have sufficient programming skills in the above mentioned programming languages, nevertheless willing to learn either of them fast, are also welcome.

I'M INTERESTED IN THIS PROJECT. WHAT SHOULD I DO NEXT?

The Office of Undergraduate Research recommends that you attend an info session or advising before contacting faculty members or project contacts about research opportunities. We'll cover the steps to get involved, tips for contacting faculty, funding possibilities, and options for course credit. Once you have attended an Office of Undergraduate Research info session or spoken to an advisor, you can use the "Who to contact" details for this project to get in touch with the project leader and express your interest in getting involved.
