C-NERVE 2.0: Research Experiences in Cognitive, Social, Affective, and Behavioral Neuroscience

这个项目是建立在CCLI之前两笔赠款的基础上，威斯康星大学斯托特分校的0536511和圣奥拉夫学院的0087906，这两笔资金支持在认知神经科学的心理生理学研究的基础上创建基于实验室的本科生课程。威斯康星大学斯托特分校开发的这些以实验室为基础的课程，被称为C-Neurn 2.0，随后形成了那里认知神经科学学习社区的基础。C-Neurence 2.0是一个身临其境的本科生研究项目。参与课程的学生将获得与认知神经科学相关的基础科学或应用科学领域的实践经验。威斯康星大学Stout C-Neurn学习社区由来自五个以上不同系的教师和30多名本科生组成。C型神经专业的学生完成了一系列五门核心课程，其中包括密集的动手数字心理生理学研究体验。这些课程包括认知神经科学导论和应用心理生理学方法。学生轮流在几个调查实验室担任研究助理，最长可达三年。他们在进行原创研究的背景下接受了几种心理生理研究方法的培训。他们还参加旨在让他们参与更大的学习社区的活动，例如旨在向代表性不足的人群推广科学教育的外联活动。对于他们的巅峰体验，学生们以首席调查者的角色设计并完成一个原创项目。他们的最终任务是在一次会议上展示这一期末项目。该项目正在扩大C-Neurn的研究活动，支持本科生在研究道德行为方面的培训，并让学生参与C-Neurn的外展工作。它正在南卡罗来纳大学艾肯分校创建一个额外的C神经学习社区，并创建一个多校区扩展的C神经学习社区。它还将作为其他有兴趣开发类似项目和功能的校园的信息交换中心，作为更大的科学界的替代品，同时向学生介绍参与科学研究的文化。

This project is building on two prior CCLI grants, 0536511 at the University of Wisconsin-Stout and 0087906 at St. Olaf College, which supported the creation of undergraduate laboratory-based coursework based on psycho-physiological research in cognitive neuroscience. The laboratory-based courses developed at the University of Wisconsin-Stout, known as C-NERVE 2.0, subsequently formed the basis of a cognitive neuroscience learning community there. C-NERVE 2.0 is an immersive undergraduate research program. Students who participate are provided with hands-on experiences designed to facilitate careers in basic or applied sciences related to cognitive neuroscience. The UW-Stout C-NERVE learning community consists of faculty from more than five different departments and over 30 undergraduates. C-NERVE students complete a series of five core courses that have been designed to include intensive hands-on digital psycho-physiological research experiences. These courses include Introduction to Cognitive Neuroscience and Applied Psycho-physiological Methods. Students serve as research assistants in several investigative labs, on a rotating basis, for up to three years. They are trained in several psycho-physiological research methods in the context of performing original research. They also take part in activities designed to involve them in the larger learning community, such as outreach activities designed to promote science education to underrepresented populations. For their capstone experience, students design and complete an original project in the role of principal investigator. Their final task is to present this final project at a conference.This project is expanding the research activities of C-NERVE, bolstering undergraduate training in the ethical conduct of research, and involving students in C-NERVE outreach efforts. It is creating an additional C-NERVE learning community at the University of South Carolina - Aiken and creating a multi-campus extended C-NERVE learning community. It will also act as a clearing house for other campuses interested in developing similar programs and functions as a surrogate for the larger scientific community while introducing students to participation in the scientific research culture.
