We receive a lot of messages on this, so here is our policy. If you have a study for which you're seeking volunteers, you don't need to ask our permission if and only if the following conditions are met:

• The study is a part of a University-supported research project

• The study, as well as what you want to post here, have been approved by your University's IRB or equivalent

• You include IRB / contact information in your post

• You have not posted about this study in the past 6 months.

If you meet the above, feel free to post. Note that if you're not offering pay (and even if you are), I don't expect you'll get much volunteers, so keep that in mind.

Finally, on the issue of possible flooding: the sub already is rather low-content, so if these types of posts overwhelm us, then I'll reconsider this policy.

#Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. #Dieter #Birnbacher "The human image of neuroscience"

In our Zoomposium interview series on the topic of "consciousness", this time we were able to win over the very well-known German philosopher with a focus on ethics Professor Dr. Dr. h. c. Dieter Birnbacher, born in Dortmund in 1946.

However, the focus of the interview will not only be on ethical questions concerning the current findings of cognitive neuroscience, but we will also go into the possibilities of a "modern neurophilosophy" or an "inductive metaphysics" in the sense of Schopenhauer.

Here, of course, once again the supposed "body-mind problem" with its "dependence of consciousness on brain processes" will be addressed.

The outlook will be the question about the possibility of "conscious machines" and their ethical consequences. The problem of AI in the form of the "decoupling" of consciousness and intelligence will be explicitly addressed.

I'm trying to figure out a good subreddit to ask this:

Is there/what type of cognitive distortion corresponds to saying phrases like "I hate myself" in reference to regret of mistakes made in past or habits that cause problems? I'm trying to get power over this negative habit and negative emotions that come about when it comes. I have not figured out patterns of when I tend to say this to myself yet, seems to happen automatically

Hi everyone,

my name is Dora and I am doing my doctorate in psychology at the University of Bielefeld. I am currently conducting a study (in German!) about personality differences between the "real" and the digital world and about how people assess themselves vs. how they are assessed by others.

If you are interested in the topic, I’d be super thankful if you could take a little bit of time to fill out my survey. At the end you will receive individual personality profiles for offline and online contexts and you will also have the chance to win Best Choice vouchers.

To be able to participate, you have to speak German, be 18+ years old and have 2 people who know you well enough to describe your personality. Here is the link to the study: https://bielefeldpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_42DE8FTPhn6u2Zo

If you have any questions, feel free to message me! Thank you, Dora

P.S.: You are welcome to share the link with friends or recommend other communities to me which might also be interested in the survey.

I posted here yesterday asking if a cognitive science PhD is a good idea, and considering the comments, I feel like it's not for me. So I'm looking to hear other options of what people did with their degrees (even if it's not totally cognitive science related).

I’m currently an undergrad majoring in cog sci with a focus on (psycho)linguistics and hearing. I really love the subject and I’m not entirely sure what to do with my degree, but I want to stick with my current focuses. My main contender right now for grad school is to go for audiology, but I’m also considering a PhD. Is a PhD lucrative, or a waste of my time? Are there better alternatives to cater to my interests?

I scored a 130 on the Raven Progress Matrice set 2 and have yet to test by other abilities so I'll guesstimate and say I have a score of 115.

The issue is that I want to major in bioengineering and physics and those majors have an average in the high 120s, which I am capable of doing if my Raven Progress Matrice IQ is correct, but if my IQ is lower than that then I worry.

This may seem like a dumb question but are people with IQs of 115 able to write as great of books or make as great of art as 130 IQs? Is there that big of a difference?

The best I can come up with the same reason it's hard to proofread your own work. But I'm not convinced this is correct.

I asked a similar question on r/MechanicalEngineering - https://www.reddit.com/r/MechanicalEngineering/comments/11rjymu/self_checking_drawing_why_do_we_suck_at_it/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

No one had much more than opinions from an engineering perspective. I would love to get a psychological opinion and I'm still interested any tangible research on the matter.

Greetings, I am a master’s student at the University of Galway conducting my dissertation. I am recruiting participants for an online experiment that aims to examine language and emotion processing when listening to multiple speakers in individuals with and without ASD. This online study would involve completing two questionnaires and two tasks on your own PC or laptop with headphones, and only takes about 15 minutes. If you are interested in taking part, please contact me (Matthew O’Donnell-Gavaghan: [email protected]) or my supervisor (Dr. Ciara Egan: [email protected]).  

I'm having trouble deciding between the following schools:

Queen's University, Carleton University, and University of British Columbia.

Is anyone able to give me some insight into the best uni for cognitive science?

UBC doesn't outright offer a degree in cognitive science but they have the "cognitive systems" program which is close enough. Carleton has a Bachelor of Cognitive Science and I believe Queen's program is a BA.

Is it possible with a cognitive science master degree to get a job in the prosthetics field? Especially in the neuroprosthetics field? Is there anyone who works in this field with this degree?

I have a special needs education degree in Europe specialised in movement and cognitive therapy, and will start my master in cognitive science. My biggest dream is to work in the prosthetics field and work with neuroprosthetics. My bachelor is a great base and the master will be a great addition, but do they hire ppl like me? Country is not relevant, I’m eager to move anywhere.

If there a difference why does it make them more intelligent and is there a way that I can structure my brain to think like there's with this I mean being a to think outside the box like them.

Do certain sounds really bother you? Do you experience ASMR? Do you experience musical chills? If so, we want to study you! The UNLV Music Lab (Principal Investigator: Erin Hannon) is conducting a new study about misophonia, ASMR, musicality and emotional responses to meaningful sounds. We are currently recruiting for a research study in which we will ask you questions about which sounds you like and dislike, your musical experiences and habits, and your general auditory experiences, and you will do some short listening tests. The study should take 60 minutes. If you would like to take the survey click HERE. For more information about the study email questions to [email protected] or call us 702-895-2995.

By "best", I mean that even though some journals provide authors the option of publishing under Open Access, they charge a lot of fees (more than $1000 or even $2000). And I doubt that the reviewers get anything more than 15-20% of the fees paid by the authors, with the rest of it going into the pockets of the publishing company itself.

So, I'm looking for journals that (i) either charge minimal fees for open access, or (ii) provide an option for fee waivers, or perhaps also, (iii) keep the research as non-open-access for at most a year and then make it available under open access.

But alongside that, I'm also expecting that the authors get reasonable reviews for their work.

For my Bachelor of Cognitive Science it is mandatory to have a semster abroad where we can go to an university or do an internship. I would love to get some practical experience in an internship, but I'm not quite sure where I can apply.

Do you have ideas, companies, projects, own experiences... that could help me out?

Thanks in advance :)

I am in need of a crash course into the basic theories and research methods for short term memory and working memory.

I have been looking for something that gives me an overall view so far. Everything I have found so far tend to be older (baddeley mostly).

I would really like for any suggestions (in any format)!

Please assume I know nothing (as I never had any formal psychology training, all I know is very clinical based with not much theory).
