Enhancing the Psychophysiology Component of Courses at All Levels of the Psychology Curriculum

通过这一项目，购买了四个Lafayette Instrument Minigraph计算机接口和四个由Pentium/66网络服务器连接的P-60 Pentium IBM兼容计算机系统，以加强心理学系课程的实验室部分。 最重要的改进是实验室课程，生理心理学，其中设备可以在每周实验课期间定期使用，每次实验课限制为12名学生。 这些计算机允许动手与国家的最先进的技术实验室练习的经验，并为学生提供在心理生理学基于计算机的研究技术的专业知识。 这些计算机还可以对实验室练习中记录的生理测量数据进行实时分析和自动数据处理，从而提高了现有多道生理记录仪的利用率。 此外，完成独立学习项目的高年级学生的复杂数据收集和分析成为可能。 心理学专业教育的这些改进使他们为研究生院的研究做好了更好的准备。

Through this project, four Lafayette Instrument Minigraph computer interfaces and four P-60 Pentium IBM-compatible computer systems linked by a Pentium/66 network server are purchased in order to enhance the laboratory component of the curriculum of the Psychology Department. The most important improvements are for the laboratory course, Physiological Psychology, in which the equipment can be used regularly during weekly laboratory sessions that are limited to 12 students per session. These computers permit hands-on experience with state-of-the-art technology for laboratory exercises and provide students with expertise in computer-based research technology in psychophysiology. The computers also enhance utilization of existing polygraphic equipment by permitting real-time analysis and automated data processing of physiological measures recorded in laboratory exercises. In addition, sophisticated data collection and analysis by senior students completing independent study projects is made possible. These improvements in the education of psychology majors better prepare them for research in graduate school.
