  • present and evaluate alternative technical approaches to neuroscience research, especially regarding commonly employed experimental techniques.
  • perform experimental techniques in a laboratory setting, including: fluorescent microscopy, extracellular electrophysiology, and behavioral analysis in invertebrates and humans.
  • record all data and present for evaluation: organized records and reports containing experimental protocol, results, and data analysis.
  • show competency in experimental research including record keeping, by designing, executing, and presenting a short research project.
