This project provides undergraduates with the opportunity to develop their skills and expertise in experimental Behavioral Biology through a series of laboratory experiments with weakly electric fish. The major items of equipment requested include six identical sets of equipment composed of a digital storage oscilloscope, a microelectrode amplifier, a frequency counter, and a function generator. This equipment is used by the students to carry out Animal Behavior Laboratory experiments in communication, electrolocation, receptor physiology, and physiological behavior. The students' active participation in the design and conduct of such experiments, rather than observing a demonstration, enhances their understanding of the concepts involved and research methodology, and provides an opportunity to become familiar with the type of equipment used in modern Behavioral Biology research.

该项目为本科生提供了机会， 发展他们在实验行为学方面的技能和专业知识 生物学通过一系列的实验室实验， 电鱼 所需的主要设备包括 六套相同的设备组成的数字存储 示波器，微电极放大器，频率计数器， 和函数发生器。 该设备由 学生进行动物行为实验室实验 在通讯，电定位，受体生理学， 生理行为 学生的积极参与 在设计和进行此类实验时， 观看演示，增强他们对 所涉及的概念和研究方法，并提供 有机会熟悉设备类型 用于现代行为生物学研究。
