Torres, David J.; Romero, Andres; Colgan, Wes, III; Ricoy, Ulises M. – Advances in Physiology Education, 2021
Undergraduates use a spike sorting routine developed in Octave to analyze the spiking activity generated from mechanical stimulation of spines of cockroach legs with the inexpensive SpikerBox amplifier and the free software Audacity. Students learn the procedures involved in handling the cockroaches and recording extracellular action potentials…

Williamson, Ben; Pykett, Jessica; Nemorin, Selena – Discourse: Studies in the Cultural Politics of Education, 2018
Recently, technologies based on neuroscientific insights into brain function and structure have been promoted for application in education. The novel practices and environments produced by these technologies require new forms of "biosocial" analysis to unpack their implications for education, learning and governance. This article…

Howard-Jones, Paul; Holmes, Wayne; Demetriou, Skevi; Jones, Carol; Tanimoto, Eriko; Morgan, Owen; Perkins, David; Davies, Neil – Learning, Media and Technology, 2015
Many have warned against a direct "brain scan to lesson plan" approach when attempting to transfer insights from neuroscience to the classroom. Similarly, in the effective design and implementation of learning technology, a judicious interrelation of insights associated with diverse theoretical perspectives (e.g., neuroscientific,…

Schneider, B.; Wallace, J.; Blikstein, P.; Pea, R. – IEEE Transactions on Learning Technologies, 2013
In this paper, we describe the development and evaluation of a microworld-based learning environment for neuroscience. Our system, BrainExplorer, allows students to discover the way neural pathways work by interacting with a tangible user interface. By severing and reconfiguring connections, users can observe how the visual field is impaired and,…
