About Program
Program Overview
Auburn University Brain Camp
Overview
The Auburn University Brain Camp is a fun, interactive camp for young leaders who are rising juniors and seniors in high school, or about to enter their freshman year of college. The camp provides hands-on experience using advanced technology and learning from distinguished professors in the field of neuroscience.
Program Details
- The camp is hosted by the Department of Psychological Sciences in the College of Liberal Arts.
- Students will be led by two faculty members in the Department of Psychological Sciences – Jeff Katz, Ph.D. (Mike and Leann Rowe Endowed Professor), and Jen Robinson, Ph.D., (Alumni Professor), and high school psychology teacher, Ms. Kathy Dodgen.
- Students will practice different techniques used by neuroscientists, such as:
- Diffusion Tensor Imaging (DTI), which allows for the mapping of the brain's neural tracks and assists in constructing 3-D replicas of the brain.
- Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
- The Department of Psychological Sciences partners with the Auburn University MRI Research Center to give each student the chance to have their brain scanned.
- Students who participate in the scanning will have a chance to map their own brain.
- Participants and their parents will have to complete an MRI safety screening form in order to participate in the brain scanning.
- Students who have braces or permanent retainers will not be eligible to have their brain scanned.
Camp Experience
- Camp participants will experience campus-life while residing in Auburn's resident dormitories.
- Participants will eat at campus dining facilities and enjoy evening social and recreational activities.
- Participants will have 24/7 counselor supervision.
