Neuroscience of mind reading: Decoding visual information in the brain using Electroencephalography

Students will participate in a research project where we attempt to decode precise visual information held in the brain using patterns of EEG (electroencephalography) signals. The overarching goal of this project is to understand how the brain interprets, maintains, updates, and utilizes visual information to optimize behavior across different task contexts. Up to fifteen participating students will engage in reviewing prior studies on relevant topics, designing computer-based tasks, analyzing experimental data using MATLAB, and writing a research report on the findings. The PI will guide the project with the help of a graduate student researcher. This research experience will be provided remotely. Preference will be given to students who have computer coding experiences.
