The Possible Connection Of Gamma Oscillation And 3-D Object Representation, Thien N. Vu
The Possible Connection Of Gamma Oscillation And 3-D Object Representation, Thien N. Vu
Summer Research
We process and encode for different features of a particular object (shape, color, texture, etc.) in distinct areas of the brain. How we bind these attributes together into a unified perception of an object is unknown. Past research suggests that synchronized activity between brain areas, particularly induced gamma activity (~ 40 Hz), may account for this binding process and the basis of our conscious perceptual experience, specifically through object representation. In this study, participants were asked to look at a series of 2-D pictures of cars from distinctive rotations (00, 900, 1800) and were …
Effect Of Out-Group Exposure On The Mirror Neuron System, Mackenzie Hepker
Effect Of Out-Group Exposure On The Mirror Neuron System, Mackenzie Hepker
Summer Research
Mirror neurons appear to play an important role in the experience of empathy, and may be critical for understanding the social signals of others in an interactive context between distinctly identified groups. Research has shown that mirror neuron activation is greater when observing in-group members (others that one most identifies with based on a certain factor or number of factors) as opposed to out-group members, which may implicate the mirror neuron system (MNS) in the neural aspect of social bias. However, no research had been conducted on the effect on the MNS of practice in interpreting and internalizing social signals …
Migrant Remittances In Rural Nepal: A Mixed Methods Household-Level Analysis, Evan Skamarock
Migrant Remittances In Rural Nepal: A Mixed Methods Household-Level Analysis, Evan Skamarock
Summer Research
This paper aspires to add to the bourgeoning field of interest concerning migration practices in the Gulf States. Based upon first hand ethnographic experience conducted in Bhairawah, southern Nepal, this paper hopes to encourage a deeper, more humanistic exploration of migratory practices that are currently approached from a political and economic lens. This paper begins with a chronological analysis and description of individual and household experience with migration. Moving further, this paper touches on a change over time of traditional gender roles for women.
War Tourism: Shaping Memory And Perception In Post-War Vietnam, Max Keyes
War Tourism: Shaping Memory And Perception In Post-War Vietnam, Max Keyes
Summer Research
Dark tourism, which is the travel to places associated with death and suffering, can play an important role in a country’s economy and construction of historical narratives. Visiting sites associated with the Vietnam War has emerged as a vibrant part of Vietnam’s tourist industry, and crowds of foreign tourists can be found at several sites that are dedicated to commemorating the war. Several questions emerge from these sites, concerning the nature of their representation of the war, the reasons tourists visit, the impact on perceptions of visiting tourists, and the ethical implications on local Vietnamese that war tourism creates. This …
Emotion Recognition And Personality Traits: A Pilot Study, Hilary Tighe
Emotion Recognition And Personality Traits: A Pilot Study, Hilary Tighe
Summer Research
This research examined personality factors and facial emotion recognition abilities in a sample of undergraduate students. The purpose of this study was to pilot methods and to collect baseline measure for a normal sample. A facial expression recognition task was created in which participants were asked to select which of two faces represented an emotional label. The participant’s accuracy and response time were recorded. An eye-tracker recorded the image of the participant’s eye and determined gaze position. From the data and feedback collected during pilot testing, methods were practiced and refined. After examining the results of these five participants, the …
