Measuring Dynamic Kidney Function in an Undergraduate Physiology Laboratory
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Medler, Scott; Harrington, Frederick – Advances in Physiology Education, 2013
Most undergraduate physiology laboratories are very limited in how they treat renal physiology. It is common to find teaching laboratories equipped with the capability for high-resolution digital recordings of physiological functions (muscle twitches, ECG, action potentials, respiratory responses, etc.), but most urinary laboratories still rely on…

Embodiment during Reading: Simulating a Story Character's Linguistic Actions
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Gunraj, Danielle N.; Drumm-Hewitt, April M.; Klin, Celia M. – Journal of Experimental Psychology: Learning, Memory, and Cognition, 2014
According to theories of embodied cognition, a critical element in language comprehension is the formation of sensorimotor simulations of the actions and events described in a text. Although much of the embodied cognition research has focused on simulations of motor actions, we ask whether readers form simulations of story characters' linguistic…

As part of a 3-wk intersession workshop funded by a National Science Foundation Expeditions in Computing award, 15 undergraduate students from the City University of New York collaborated on a study aimed at characterizing the voltage dynamics and arrhythmogenic behavior of cardiac cells for a broad range of physiologically relevant conditions…
