Brain-to-brain coordination in conversation dyads

Students interested in brain-to-brain coordination during coversation (as well as development of it in children and clinical populations) are invited to train in my lab (https://malaia.people.ua.edu/opportunities.html) as volunteers. Class credit available in CD 350 or CD 360 Honors; training in Good Laboratory Practices and experiment administration provided. Since the training is fairly involved, 1-year commitment (Fall-Spring, or Spring-Fall) is required. You'd be working in a small group (3-4 student researchers), and comfortable coordinating/scheduling flexibly. The hours (3-5/week) are calculated based on 2-3 experimental recordings a week, which, depending on participant availability, might take place evenings or weekends. Any ma...

Design and Fabrication of a Deployable Tensegrity-Based Robotic Arm

The primary goal of this research is to conceptualize, design, fabricate, and deploy a robotic arm driven by the principles of tensegrity structures, providing a unique approach to robotic movement, flexibility, and adaptability. Tensegrity, a portmanteau of "tension" and "integrity", refers to structural systems that derive their stability from a balance between tension and compression components. In recent years, there has been a growing interest in applying the principles of tensegrity to the realm of robotics, primarily due to its potential advantages such as lightweight structures, increased flexibility, and adaptive resilience. Scope: Literature Review: Investigation of existing research related to tensegrity robotics, its prin...
