This $158,502 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Integrative Activities program (CFDA 47.083) supports the acquisition of an electroencephalogram (EEG) system at the University of South Carolina Aiken (USCA). The EEG system will advance multi-user interdisciplinary neuroscience research across USCA's psychology, biology, nursing, business, exercise science, and computer/engineering departments. Key planned research activities include examining neural plasticity of the empathy system in athletes, predictors of treatment success for emotional regulation in parents, the use of acetaminophen for non-pain treatments, the effects of ketone supplementation on attention, and the influence of framing on decision-making. The new EEG system will also support future research in the university's recently approved gaming and simulation development major. This project aims to increase STEM engagement and neuroscience research opportunities for underrepresented populations, as well as enhance USCA's competitiveness for future grant proposals and faculty recruitment.
