The Neuromechanics Lab needs volunteers for a study on learning and effort in a walking task. We are interested in how the effort involved in a movement impacts how you learn in a new environment. The task involves walking on a treadmill with separate belts for each foot at walking speeds.

You must be English-speaking, between 18–35 years old, have normal or corrected vision, no movement control or vestibular problems, and no recent orthopedic surgeries or broken bones.

The study will involve a single two-hour visit to our campus laboratory in the Engineering Center, ECSL 1B21, and will include motion-capture of your walking gait. Subjects will be compensated with a $25 Amazon gift card.

If interested, please fill out a screening survey.

• 18–35 years old
• Normal or corrected vision
• No movement control or vestibular problems
• No recent orthopedic surgeries or broken bones

The study will involve two visits (the first lasting 75 minutes and the second lasting 65 minutes) to our campus laboratory in the Engineering Center (1B21 ECSL) at 1111 Engineering Drive. It will include motion-capture of your walking gait. Subjects will be compensated with an Amazon gift card for $25.

The Pain Lab at CU Boulder, affiliated with the Institute of Cognitive Science, is seeking participants ages 21–70 for a research study with non-invasive wearable sensors.

You may be eligible if you have experienced back pain for the last three-plus months. Participants will be compensated up to $360.

If you're interested, fill out the screening form, and the lab will contact you regarding your eligibility.  

Have you had a spinal cord injury? If so, we need your help.

The Sensorimotor Recovery and Neuroplasticity Laboratory at CU Boulder and CU Anschutz is seeking persons with a spinal cord injury to participate in a research project to study how low-oxygen therapy may promote recovery of movement.

This study is looking to see how mild bouts of breathing low oxygen may improve leg strength and walking ability in persons with spinal cord injury. The purpose of this study is to gain better understanding of how this potential therapy may help people with spinal cord injury become more independent.

If the following two questions apply to you, we would like to hear from you.

• Are you 18–75 years old? 
• Did you sustain a spinal cord injury more than six months ago?

Data we collect will be used to determine if this therapy may increase voluntary movement in persons' spinal cord injury. 

The study takes up one to two hours per day, up to 10 days of experimental treatment and training, and up to two days for tests on the CU Boulder campus. Participants will be compensated $25 for each visit and in some cases for travel.

Thank you so very much for your consideration. Your participation in our research program is greatly appreciated. For more information, contact CU Boulder's Andrew Quesada Tan and/or CU Anschutz's Andrew C. Smith with the subject line "IH STUDY."

We are looking for males and females with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), ages 18-35, with typical bedtime of 1 a.m. or later to participate in a study at the CU Boulder Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory.

Compensation up to $750. Get study details and apply.

We are recruiting participants for a research study who are fluent English speakers, are over the age of 18, and who have taken at least an intro-level programming class (or equivalent experience) with C++.

We are investigating how programmers of varying experience levels approach debugging C++ code. Our eventual goal is to create a collaborative robot that can support newer programmers as they learn debugging strategies. In the study, you will be completing a debugging task alongside our partner robot.

The study will last 30 minutes, and the pay is $15. You cannot earn course credit through this study.

Schedule an appointment online. The studies take place at the CU Engineering Center, Room ECST 322. To get directions to our lab, or for more information, please email kayleigh.bishop@colorado.edu. Thanks!

The CU Boulder Sleep and Development Lab is looking for participants for a research study to learn about how light exposure in the evening affects pupil size in adolescents. We need children ages 15.0–16.9 years who are healthy and have no sleep problems for a six-day study, requiring one short visit to our lab (approximately two hours). Families will be compensated for participating.

For more information, contact the Sleep and Development Laboratory at sleepdev@colorado.edu or visit our website.

The Research on Affective Disorders and Development Lab is conducting research on mood, stress and coping for CU students. We are recruiting CU students ages 18 to 23.

The study includes a few different parts:

• You will take a series of online or app-based surveys.
• You will complete two in-person research visits, each including an interview about stress and health, a set of computer games, and an evaluation of physical functioning.

The study takes place over the course of three semesters, and you will be compensated for your participation (maximum of $356–$386 for completing all parts of the study).

If you want to learn more, contact the RADD Lab at raddlab@colorado.edu or 303-735-8306, or go to our website to fill out the initial eligibility screening.

We are recruiting participants for a research study who are fluent English speakers, are over the age of 18, and who are currently enrolled in CU Boulder’s CSCI 2270 course.

These studies take place at the Center for Innovation and Technology, Room 184G. In this type of study we investigate how students use problem-solving skills in debugging code. In the study you will be working with a collaborative robot on a program debugging task.

During the study we’ll be using cameras and microphones to record the interactions you have with the robot and the tasks at hand. We’ll also use eye tracking to measure your gaze patterns during the experiment. Collecting this video and audio data is mandatory for this study. If you do not want to be recorded with video and microphone, you may decide not to participate in this study at any time.  

This study will last 30 minutes, and the pay is $12.50. You cannot earn course credit through this study.

Schedule an appointment online. To get directions to our lab, or for more information, please email isat.lab@colorado.edu.
