Morse, Rachel A. | Oh my amplitude! : the role of subjective motivation on the amplitude of the error-related negativity | Making mistakes is part of our human experience. When individuals commit errors, they can learn from their mistakes and minimize future errors in different scenarios. We can measure error monitoring in the brain with EEG. The error-related negativity (ERN) is an event-related potential observed when... | 2021 | |

Wainer, Tobin | Star clusters in the triangulum galaxy: star cluster catalog and mass function fitting | We construct a catalog of star clusters in the Triangulum Galaxy (M33). The catalog is the result of the Local Group Cluster Search (LGCS) citizen science project through Zooniverse, where users classify images from the Hubble Space Telescope (HST). We base our star cluster catalog on the fraction o... | 2021 | |

Enriquez, Trisha Pauline Diaz | Substrate use within the drosophila melanogaster species subgroup | Effective sensory perception is a vital aspect of survival for living organisms such as Drosophila. More specifically, olfaction, or the sense of smell, is essential because the detection of odors allows it to find potential food, danger, or specifically, where to lay eggs. This review will examine ... | 2021 | |

Flores, Ashley | Survey of pediatric audiologist on their use of loudness perception measures | The goal of hearing aid fitting is to ensure that low-level sounds are audible, average-level sounds are comfortable, and more intense sounds are loud but not too loud. The uncomfortable loudness level (UCL) threshold helps define the patient's dynamic range, which is used during device fitting. A 2... | 2021 | |
