1/05/2015: This quarter Karl Marrett, a senior in the lab studying neurobiology with emphasis on computational neuroscience, received the Mary Gates Research Scholarship and was named a Levinson Emerging Scholar.
Mary Gates Research Scholarships are competitive scholarships intended to enhance the educational experiences of undergraduate students at the University of Washington while they are engaged in research guided by faculty. With these research scholarships, students may focus more attention and time, deeping their inquiry into a discipline or project with a reduced financial burden.
The Levinson Emerging Scholars Program supports talented and highly motivated UW juniors and seniors who want to pursue creative and advanced research. As Levinson Emerging Scholars, selected outstanding UW undergraduates will receive funding to support their research in these disciplines, including funding to present their findings at a professional conference. By funding ten scholars each year, the Levinson Emerging Scholars Program nurtures a growing cadre of high caliber academic researchers who, in turn, will further innovation in biotechnology-related fields and enrich the future of academe.
Karl received these scholarships for his work in Adrian KC Lee's lab and Michael Tangermann's lab at the University of Freiburg on a project to assess the cognitive load of users of an auditory P300 speller paradigm. Visual P300 speller devices remain one of the most widespread medical applications of brain computer interfaces, by assessing cognitive load, we hope to expand the ultimate practicality of these devices in the auditory domain.
