Students enroll in research credit and gain experience in data collection, statistical analysis, and scientific writing. Students are paired with a supervisor based on their talents and interests. Data collection methods include: (1) neuroimaging; (2) image processing; (3) behavior assessment; (4) behavior coding; (5) computer-based tasks; (6) interviews; (7) salivary cortisol; and (8) surveys. Most students enroll 3 or more semesters and present independent projects at the Undergraduate Symposium. We have mentored a Hilldale student nearly every year for more than a decade. Several highly motivated students published their theses.  Peers include sophomores through seniors with diverse majors in Psychology, Neurobiology, Nursing, Social Work, Occupational Therapy, Communicative Disorders, and more. The course is Psych 621, Mentored Research and Seminar. Class number 31716, section 016.
