The Computational Cognitive Neuroscience & Psychiatry Lab
(https://solwaylab.org) is recruiting undergraduate research assistants for
Fall 2022. The lab's research focuses on understanding information
processing in human learning, decision making, and episodic memory
using computational modeling and machine learning tools. Your experience in
the lab will give you a taste of what real research is like and help prepare
you for postbac and graduate school applications.

including psychology, neuroscience, computer science, bioengineering,
biology, and others.

linear regression) *or* machine learning algorithms used for prediction (e.g.
decision trees).
You must have experience with at least one programming environment used in
modern data analysis either through coursework or through projects completed
outside of class, such as Python, R, or Matlab.
You must participate in this research experience for credit by enrolling in
