This study is about how typical artificial indoor lighting versus a simulation of a natural sunset influences the timing of the human body clock. The body clock controls 24-hour patterns of physiology such as sleep and hormone release. This work will have important implications for determining how implementation of new lighting technology can be used to promote sleep. We are looking for healthy men and women, ages 18-45, to participate in a study lasting approximately 15 days and consisting of wearing an activity-tracking watch at home, and two laboratory visits of about seven hours each at the CU Boulder Sleep and Chronobiology Laboratory. Compensation up to $200. For study details, email sleep.study@colorado.edu and ask about the Simulated Sunset study.

UROP is excited to announce open, funded opportunities for undergraduate research, scholarly and creative projects led by some of CU Boulder’s most innovative faculty mentors.

Seeking participants with no history of any heart or lung diseases to participate in a research study aimed at evaluating the feasibility of automatic detection and identification of certain valvular heart diseases based on heart sounds collected using a digital stethoscope. This study is conducted by a PhD student in the Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering Department of CU Boulder. Participants are asked to give approximately 30 minutes of their time to finish a single study session. During the session, heart sounds are recorded using a digital stethoscope, and the heart electrical activity will also be recorded using an ECG monitor to help in the analysis of the heart sounds. This study is conducted under the guidance of Professor Kimberly Newman from the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering of CU Boulder.

Volunteers are needed for a study at the Hearing and Epidemiology and Research Diagnostics Laboratory investigating potential effects of cardiovascular health on the auditory system.
