This project will equip a computerized physiological psychology laboratory. The equipment will provide laboratory experiences for undergraduate students in physiological psychology by allowing them to learn human and non-human animal neuroscience methodology in a "hands-on" environment. It will allow the Psychology Department to incorporate laboratory demonstrations and exercises in the existing undergraduate physiological lecture course and to develop a research laboratory course in physiological psychology. Through a structured sequence of exercises, students in the laboratory course will become familiar with the research literature, learn how to design and conduct ethical research in the physiological area, and learn how to write professional reports about their research. The laboratory will also allow students the opportunity to conduct supervised independent research on physiological topics. Instruction in other courses in the psychology curriculum will be improved as faculty begin to take advantage of this opportunity to incorporate demonstrations of physiological phenomena in their courses, and by allowing development of physiological instructional materials designed for use in these courses. Faculty in Biology and Kinesiology will also begin to use this facility for improving undergraduate learning in their disciplines. The design of the laboratory also allows for production of video instructional material that may be disseminated to interested faculty at other institutions.

该项目将装备一个计算机化的生理心理学实验室。 这些设备将为生理心理学专业的本科生提供实验室体验，让他们在“动手”环境中学习人类和非人类动物神经科学方法。 它将使心理学系能够将实验室演示和练习纳入现有的本科生生理学讲座课程中，并开发生理心理学研究实验室课程。 通过一系列结构化的练习，学生在实验室课程将熟悉研究文献，学习如何设计和进行生理领域的伦理研究，并学习如何撰写有关其研究的专业报告。 该实验室还将允许学生有机会对生理主题进行监督独立研究。 随着教师开始利用这个机会将生理现象的演示纳入他们的课程，并允许开发为这些课程设计的生理教学材料，心理学课程中其他课程的教学将得到改善。 生物学和运动机能学的教师也将开始使用该设施来改善其学科的本科生学习。 实验室的设计还允许制作视频教学材料，可以分发给其他机构感兴趣的教师。
