Learning in the field
Every Franklin College neuroscience major completes at least one field internship. Previous majors have interned at a variety of unique locations focusing on various aspects of neuroscience, such as research, psychopharmacology and behavioral cognition. Internship locations have included:
- Eli Lilly and Company
- Johnson Memorial Hospital
- Indiana Biosciences Research Institute
- CVS Pharmacy
- U Dirty Dawg Doggy Daycare
Neuroscience majors are also required to conduct a senior research project to complete their degree. Previous neuroscience majors have conducted a variety of interesting and innovative studies:
- Examining lighting and sound conditions on sleep using electroencephalography (EEG).
- Examining behavioral effects of different alcohol concentrations by self-brewing beer.
- Using 3D printing and Arduino to construct low-cost behavioral testing equipment.
- Examining the role of music in memory retention.
- EEG analysis of differential brain activity to dissimilar musical genres.
