The Lapate Experimental Affective Psychophysiology and Neuroscience Laboratory (LEAP Neuro lab) is committed to providing world-class training in experimental design, signal processing, analysis of functional neuroimaging data, and causal methods. The lab is also committed to providing continuous training in ethical research practices and science communication, and fostering an open, inclusive, and collaborative environment.

Skills in any of the following areas are valued, but openness to learning and intrinsic curiosity are valued even more:
§  Computer programming (Python, Matlab, R)
§  fMRI and/or EEG
§  Psychophysics
§  Statistics and machine learning (GLM, multivariate pattern analysis)

Graduate Students: Prospective graduate students usually apply through the Department of Psychological and Brain Sciences at UCSB (Cognition, Perception, and Cognitive Neuroscience or Social Psychology area groups). See here for more information.  Please note: Dr. Lapate will not be recruiting new graduate students for Fall 2024.

Undergraduate RAs: The lab is currently full, but you can fill out this online form if you’d like to be considered for future opportunities.
