We are looking for students who can commit to three consecutive quarters (Fall, Winter, and Spring) in our lab. We will only consider applicants with a minimum of 90 credits (junior standing) and a 3.0 minimum GPA. Applicants must be familiar with both Windows and UNIX environments; computer programming experience (any language) is strongly encouraged. The number of units a student may sign up for depends on how many hours per week the student can spend in the lab (4 units would require 10-12 hours/week).

~ Undergraduate Student Research Assistant with ERP emphasis
  Students in this group will learn how to design experiments and collect and analyze data using Event-Related Potential (ERP) methods. Excellent interpersonal skills are needed, as our research subjects include people of all ages as well as people with autism. Each quarter's emphasis will be slightly different. Fall Quarter: students will learn how to apply electrodes, evaluate data quality, and collect data during experiments. Winter Quarter: Students will learn traditional, average-based analysis techniques. Spring Quarter: Students will learn other EEG-based analysis methods.
~ Undergraduate Student Research Assistant with FMRI emphasis
  Students in this group will learn how to collect and analyze functional MR data. Our research subjects include people of all ages as well as people with autism. Each quarter's emphasis will be slightly different. Fall Quarter: students will learn how to run behavioral experiments, collect FMR data at the new UCSD Center for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging and conduct basic pre-processing of data sets. Winter and Spring Quarters: Students will continue to assist in FMRI data collection and processing, and will learn additional analytic techniques.
~ Undergraduate Student Research Assistant with Structural MRI emphasis
 

Students in this group will learn how to collect and analyze structural MR data. Students in this group will also learn to identify anatomic landmarks and boundaries and will use specialized software to trace neuroanatomic regions of interest for volumetric measurements. Our research subjects include people of all ages as well as people with autism. Each quarter's emphasis will be slightly different. Fall Quarter: students will learn how to collect data at the new UCSD Center for Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, evaluate data quality, and conduct basic processing of images. Winter Quarter: Students will continue to assist in sMRI data collection and processing, and will learn anatomic tracing of selected brain regions. Spring Quarter: Students will continue to assist in sMRI data collection, processing and neuroanatomic tracing and will be introduced to more advanced methods such as diffusion and perfusion imaging.
