Project Description

The overarching project seeks to model how we perceive our orientation and motion in our world. In order to do this, we will be taking data from human subjects. We will be using motion devices in the Bioastronautics laboratory to move subjects around while we ask them what they think is happening.

We are looking for an undergraduate assistant who will be able to collect data from human subjects and perform initial data analysis. You (the undergraduate assistant) will receive all necessary training for the job. Ideally, you have some experience with plotting in Matlab or Python but this is not necessary.

Special Requirement

The only requirements are a keen interest in working with human subjects and the ability to work in 3-4 hour blocks, in person, in the Bioastronautics laboratory (located within the Aerospace Building on East Campus).

  • Ability to work in person in the Aerospace Building in 3-4 hour blocks in order to collect data from human subjects
  • Ability to lift up to 15lbs
  • Involves a lot of face-time with people
