The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab at Johns Hopkins University in
Baltimore Maryland invites applications for a summer undergraduate
research internship. The selected intern will have an opportunity to get
involved in various aspects of the psychology and cognitive neuroscience
research process, including stimulus design, data collection and
analysis. <br>
<br>
About our lab: The Neuroplasticity and Development Lab investigates how
experience shapes human cognition and brain function using methods such
as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), transcranial magnetic
stimulation (TMS) and behavioral measures. As part of our research we
compare the minds and brains of populations with different development
experiences, including blind and sighted individuals. The lab is
specifically interested in the effects of experience on higher-order
cognitive processes such as language, conceptual reasoning, memory,
reading and numerical thinking.<br>
