High School Students Participate in Neuroscience Summer Program
For two weeks in June 2018, high school students conducted research as part of the fifth neuroscience summer training program hosted by the College of Psychology’s Department of Psychology and Neuroscience.
Each year, students from South Florida high schools listen to lectures from NSU faculty, conduct research and experiments, and present their results in a poster session with family members as guests. For 2018, the program’s theme was the connection between neuroscience and the law.
Some of the lectures covered topics like the criminal justice system, the neuroscience of police procedures, emotion and attention, and eyewitness testimony. Students also conducted experiments on genetic fingerprints and recorded action potentials. During the second week, students performed experiments and compiled their results into a research poster. On the final day of the program, the posters were presented in the lobby of the Leo Goodwin Sr. Hall. The students answered questions from faculty members and family.
