Todd Harris and Dr. Travis Oliphant, Electrical Engineering While it is obvious that hearing a sound produces measurable changes in the brain’s auditory cortex, it is less clear how a compilation of tones, beats, and rhythms affect other areas. In this study I use fMRI to observe which structures in the brain become active in […]

The Brain’s Response to Physical Activity Studied With fMRI
Ren Weidman and Dr. Travis Oliphant, Electrical and Computer Engineering In recent years the fields of medicine and physiological research have made many advancements as a result of application of technology. One example of this is the device known as the Magnetic Resonance Imaging machine (MRI). MRI machines use innovative methods based on principles of […]
The Effect of Cytokinin and Abscisic Acid on Iron Stress Response in Tomatoes
Mark L. Bernards and Dr. Von D. Jolley, Agronomy and Agriculture Iron is an essential nutrient for healthy plant growth. Dicotyledenous plants respond to insufficient iron with a variety of mechanisms. For example, they may release hydrogen ions or exude reductants (such as caffeic acid) from the roots to acidify the rhizosphere, reduce Fe 3+ […]
Single Fiber Myosin Heavy Chain Response to Eight Weeks of Sprint Cycle Training
Nathan Miller and Dr. Allen Parcell, Health and Human Performance Research has given us an increased understanding of skeletal muscle. We have learned that skeletal muscle function is influenced by neural, biochemical, molecular, and biomechanical factors. As our understanding of these factors increases so does our ability to facilitate positive adaptations in muscle function. Human […]
Daily Coping Responses of Children Who Have a Sibling with a Disability
Shannon Wright Martino and Dr. Susanne Olsen, School of Family Life A child with a disability may be a unique stressor to all members of the family. For years, researchers have focused on the parents and the child with a disability in the family. However, fewer studies have specifically focused on typically developing siblings of […]
Intramural Athletes and Their Psychological Response to Athletic Injury
Stephanie Miner and Professor David Kaiser, Exercise Sciences The goal of this study was to expand the literature on the psychological effect of injury on intramural athletes. This study replicated a qualitative study (Tracey, 2003) which investigated the emotional response to injury and the rehabilitation process of intercollegiate athletes. This study was designed to investigate the […]
Heart Rate Response under Induced Stress: A Comparison of Individuals with High and Low Ruminative Tendencies
Douglas Marchant and Dr. Claudia Clayton, Psychology Rumination can be defined as persistent, recyclic thinking (Rippere, 1977). There are characteristic differences between normal rumination, which is simply recyclic thinking, and depressive rumination, which is characterized by recyclic thoughts focused on one’s depressive symptoms and the ramifications of those symptoms (Nolen-Hoeksema, 1991). Therefore, depressive rumination is […]
The Factors that Generate a Response to Newspaper Advertising
Tara J.V. Flake and Professor Russell Mouritsen, Communications – Advertising and Marketing Advertising departments worldwide face difficult and costly decisions every day. Their decisions include things like how to portray their product in the best way, what their advertisement should look and/or sound like and where their advertisement should be placed, just to name a […]
Exploring the Open-Response Task as a Tool for Assessing the Understanding of Fifth- Grade Students in the Content Area of Fractions
Heather Bahlmann and Professor Janet G. Walter, Mathematics Education Department Purpose and Framework Inferring student understanding is at the heart of improvement in mathematics learning and teaching. Assessment provides valuable information which can be used to “promote growth, modify programs, recognize student accomplishments, and improve instruction” (NCTM, 1995, p.27). It is imperative that the methods for […]
