REU SITE: Undergraduate Research in Brain, Sensory Systems and Behavior

该奖项为伊利诺伊大学芝加哥分校在Aixa阿方索博士的指导下进行的为期三年的大脑、感觉系统和行为本科生现场研究项目提供资金。 该计划暴露了一个多样化的本科生群体在生物和行为科学的交叉点追求原创性研究的兴奋和挑战。 这是一个以前资助的REU项目的更新，该项目将继续通过与生物学家，心理学家和工程师一起工作来培养学生的综合神经和行为科学，这些生物学家，心理学家和工程师在感觉处理和行为以及突触整合领域进行研究。

This award provides funding for a three year Research Experiences for Undergraduates Site program in Brain, Sensory Systems and Behavior, at the University of Illinois at Chicago, under the direction of Dr. Aixa Alfonso. This program exposes a diverse group of undergraduates to the excitement and challenges of pursuing original research at the intersection of the biological and behavioral sciences. This is a renewal of a previously funded REU project that will continue to train students in integrative neural and behavioral science by working wih biologists, psychologists, and engineers who conduct research within the areas of sensory processing and behavior, and synaptic integration.
