Student Research Participation Opportunities - Department of Psychological Science

Every day, we adjust our behavior and emotion according to the changing environment demands. Combining self-report and psychophysiological measurements can help us better understand emotion regulation. 

You are invited to participate in a study, being conducted under the direction of Dr. Lin Fang at NMU, using heart rate measurement to understand emotion regulation process.

The investigation includes several questionnaires and two behavioral tasks, all completed on a computer. Participation is expected to last up to 1.5 hours. The risks associated with this study are expected to be minimal and participants can get extra credit after participating in the study.

To be eligible for participation, you must be 18 years old or older and have normal or corrected-to-normal vision.

You are invited to participate in our research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand human cognition and decision-making using eye-tracking methodology. This study will include a computer task, a shopping simulation task, and several questionnaires. It will be conducted by undergraduate and graduate research assistants. 

The purpose of this study is to evaluate behavioral performance, persistence, and recurrence in computer simulations. You will complete game-like computer tasks in a laboratory while earning points. We are interested in evaluating the role of multiple session experiences, such as taking breaks, which style of gaming response options and other activities are available, how points are gained or lost, and how responsive the game environment is while playing.

Participants will complete game-like computer tasks in a laboratory while earning points. Participants can receive up to approximately $10 by completing a 2-hour session in Weston Hall.

Study Purpose

To better understand the relationship between attentionally demanding computer activities and our body’s physiological stress reactions. 

What Happens

After agreeing to participate, you will complete an online questionnaire related to college student stress experiences.  Then, you will attend a one hour lab appointment (participant selects appointment time/day) to do three computerized attention tasks after you are connected to a physiological stress measurement device.

You are invited to participate in a research study on gambling behavior. In this study you will be asked to play an electronic gambling game for approximately 1 hour. 
 

You are invited to participate in our research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand brain activity associated with the social aspect of human cognition. This study will utilize an EEG cap to record the brain activity during computer tasks. It will be conducted by undergraduate and graduate research assistants.

You are invited to participate in our research study. The purpose of this study is to better understand the neural bases of different cognitive control mechanisms.
 

This study will utilize three behavioral tasks and neuroimaging method to investigate the tendency to use different cognitive control mechanisms. It will be conducted by undergraduate and graduate research assistants.

*Even if you have participated in a related study in the CABIN Lab in past semesters, you are still eligible to participate in this study.

You are invited to participate in our study! The purpose of this study is to better understand how brain stimulation impacts brain activity associated reward processing.

This study will utilize brain stimulation and EEG to investigate the neural mechanisms of underlying reward processing. The research will be conducted by undergraduate and graduate research assistants.
