Research opportunities for students
Forschungsgelegenheiten für Studenten

If so, then you should know that I am always looking to attract students- from psychology, or from any related area - for collaboration who areinterested in any of the topics or approaches of my research or in related topics. This may either be as part of the formal study requirements(e.g., B.A. or M.A. Thesis), or else beyond such formal requirements. Forexample, I offer minor projects for students who just took up their studiesand who simply happen to be interested in experimental or modeling work.

I will generally provide the required research facilities, such as soft- andhardware, lab space, and access to human subject pools. The most validpredictor for success with such projects has in my experience been the levelof the student's intellectual curiosity, rather than some particular technicalor formal expertise. For example, a few of my students were fairly capableprogrammers who soon developed their own experimental and data analyticalsoftware tools, but the vast majority were not, and those generally gotalong very well, too.

So, if you are interested in student projects, don't hesitate to simply dropinto my office, or feel free to contact me at any time.
