The Ed. Neuro. Lab went to the Wisconsin State Fair as part of UW-Madison Day at the Fair. The entire UW-Madison team raised record donations for Wisconsin Schools, including school supplies and cash donations for computers. For our part, we made brain hats, demonstrated the principles of neural firing with a rope neuron, and showed people how plastic their brain is by learning to do a mirror tracing task, and experiencing the rubber hand illusion. You can see pictures of all the fun on our gallery page!
MELD and EdNeuro Labs Awarded NSF Grant to Study Fractions
The MELD Lab (Percival Matthews) and the Ed Neuro Lab (Ed Hubbard) have been awarded an NSF grant to explore fractions understanding at a behavioral and neural level. The grant, titled Using Nonsymbolic Ratios to Promote Fraction Knowledge: A Neurocognitive Approach will fund our research into fractions for the next three years.
