Spring Sophomore Research Project #39

Professor Grit Herzmann, Neuroscience Program

Project Description

In the project, we are collecting EEG data for a comparative study on two phenomena within face perception: the other-race effect (better memory for own-race faces) and the other-race classification advantage (better classification of other-race faces). The work in the project involves setting up, monitoring, and cleaning up EEG recordings on human participants.
