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.

Researchers in the Neurophysiology of Movement Lab on Main Campus are conducting a study to evaluate the influence of light electrical stimulation on walking and balance capabilities in healthy older adults.

Subject requirements:

• 65–85 years of age
• Free from neurological impairments
• No recent lower body injuries
• Ability to walk for six minutes unaided

The study consists of two visits to CU Boulder Main Campus on separate days (approximately 2.5 hours each). In each session, we will apply mild electrical stimulation using a TENS device and assess subjects' walking and balance capabilities.
