ND COBRE: LABORATORY CORE (HIGH-DENSITY EEG AND DRIVING SIMULATOR)

这个子项目是众多研究子项目之一

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The objectives of this project are to create a state-of-the-art Core Laboratory Facility for the NDSU Center for Visual Neuroscience through: 1) the renovation of 2141 square feet of space in Minard Hall, adjacent to space currently utilized for visual neuroscience research by the COBRE junior investigators, CVN faculty and senior advisors; and 2) the acquisition of essential equipment items including two 168-channel electrophysiological workstations, a remote infrared eye/headtracker, and stimulus display equipment. This will establish a Core Laboratory facility for high-density electroencephalographic neuroimaging, whose use is required by all three of the proposed COBRE projects, as well as projects conducted by CVN faculty (Brady, Teder-Salejarvi and Rainville). This Core facility will also benefit researchers in the Department of Psychology more generally, as well as other biomedical and biobehavioral researchers at North Dakota State University. The renovations will also create special-purpose psychophysical laboratories for COBRE researchers. John Foxe is an expert in the field of high-density EEG neuroimaging and serves as the Lab Core Consultant. Mark Nawrot is an expert in eye-tracking technology and serves as the Internal Laboratory Core Advisor.
