Seeking Student Volunteers
Currently, we are seeking undergraduate students for volunteer hours or in some cases research credit (depending on your program of study and requirements). The Huppert lab works at the interface of engineering, mathematical modeling, statistics, and applied neuroscience applications.

Example projects:
Engineering and Computer Science related projects
- Development of algorithms for analysis (via MediaPipe and OpenCV) of video recordings of dyadic interactions between people (e.g. analysis of eye-gaze, body posture, and other metrics of interactions) *.
- Construction of a low-cost, wearable brain imaging device integrating EEG and fNIRS technologies
- New statistical data analysis tools for real-time brain imaging (e.g. adaptive state-space models to estimate brain activity) *
Biostats or Math related projects
- Comparison of algorithms for estimation of first and group-level inferences using ROC analysis methods
- Ill-posed inverse estimation methods for image reconstruction of brain activity
- Multimodal (and heterogeneous data type) joint estimation models
- Fuzzy-logic models for analyzing brain data from real-world applications
Biology, Neuroscience, and Psychology related projects
- Assist in data analysis for ongoing fMRI and fNIRS brain imaging projects *
- Collection of new human-subjects’ recordings in two-person (dyadic) brain imaging *
- Development of paradigms for studying brain activity during Virtual Reality tasks mimicking daily activities of living *
* project may require additional human subjects training and IRB certifications
