On June 11, OIT will adjust the campus DMARC policy to reject rather than quarantine emails that claim to be from CU Boulder but fail authentication checks. This is the final step in a yearlong process to make it harder for scammers to phish our community using spoofed CU Boulder email addresses.
The primary iClicker website (www.iclicker.com) was compromised by an attacker between April 12–16, 2025. The OIT website has more information about how you can protect yourself if you interacted with the malicious captcha.
The SHINE Lab at CU Boulder is recruiting participants for XR research assessing and optimizing cognitive load. This entails identifying when and how to reduce cognitive load and improve training in virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).
Center for Innovation and Creativity (CINC), Room 184E*
1777 Exposition Drive, Boulder, CO 80301
*This room is inaccessible without a key, so someone will meet you in the lobby.
In this research experiment, you are invited to complete an assembly task while inside of a consumer-available extended reality head-mounted display (HMD). This means that you may be in virtual reality (VR) or augmented reality (AR). You will also wear a full head of neurological sensors: functional near infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and electroencephalography (EEG).
The experiment takes 120 minutes. There are no direct benefits to you as a participant, but you will be able to gain some understanding of XR research. HMDs may increase the potential for humans to experience motion sickness symptoms or simulator sickness. Experience of these symptoms is greater for participants who have a history of motion sickness. As with any research, there is some possibility that you may be subject to risks that have not yet been identified.
You will receive a $40 Amazon gift card for your participation.

We are writing to invite young children to participate in a fun language perception study! You and your child can participate online via Zoom or in person at a time that is convenient for you.
The study is open to 3- to 5-year-old typically developing children who are acquiring English as a first language.
Your child will engage in a task in which they will be shown four images and asked to touch one of them (e.g. "touch the star!"). The total time for the study is 20–30 minutes including breaks.
We will send you a $20 Amazon gift card within one to two weeks of study completion. We have attached a flier with further details.
