Subject: [AUDITORY] Undergraduate summer research opportunity From: Skyler Jennings <Skyler.Jennings@xxxxxxxx> Date: Fri, 6 Nov 2020 15:32:37 +0000--_000_a0fc3bcde9b148ba87e633744ef6901fhscutahedu_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Summer Research Opportunity for an Undergraduate Student: Auditory Percepti= on and Physiology Laboratory at the University of Utah The Auditory Perception and Physiology Laboratory (PI: Skyler Jennings) is = looking for a motivated undergraduate student to complete a 10-week researc= h rotation during the summer of 2021 through the University of Utah Summer = Program for Undergraduate Research (SPUR, https://our.utah.edu/spur/). The = research rotation will center on understanding the role of peripheral gain = control mechanisms (i.e., middle ear muscle reflex, medial olivocochlear re= flex, neural adaptation) on hearing in noisy backgrounds for listeners with= normal and impaired hearing using perceptual, electrophysiological, and co= mputational modeling techniques. A description of the project is here: http= s://our.utah.edu/spur/2021-projects/jennings/. The SPUR opportunity include= s a "remote contingency plan" if face-to-face mentoring is not possible due= to the COVID-19 pandemic. The contingency plan for this research opportuni= ty is to complete computational model simulations of the human compound act= ion potential (CAP) for a variety of empirical data collected from our labo= ratory. SPUR provides students with: * A 10-week research experience * $5000 stipend * On-campus housing * Travel reimbursement Undergraduate students interested in this opportunity should contact Skyler= Jennings (skyler.jennings@xxxxxxxx<mailto:skyler.jennings@xxxxxxxx= >).
