We’ll enjoy multiple art projects\, including neuron building and brain maps\, to allow students to explore these ideas further… \nLEARN MORE: Synapses\, Stories & Song! \nLEARN MORE: Grande Ronde Lesson Plan on Stories & Myths \n \n \nWe have done this before\, successfully  –   see Noggin Bloggin for details.

Our club has traditionally focused on undergraduates\, but we aim to increase outreach in diverse populations\, including diversity in age\, socioeconomic status\, ethnicity\, sexuality\, gender\, religion\, and mental health in order to expand opportunities and benefit the field. The club has analyzed three points of consideration in the context of diversity\, including  (1) what should outreach try to accomplish\, (2) what should outreach consist of\, and (3) what resources should outreach provide. The first point addresses the inconsistent reach of resources among communities\, inequality which denies opportunities and excludes valuable viewpoints from the field. Outreach should strive to be the solution\, offering education\, opportunity\, and equity to those who may otherwise be overlooked. Those who haven’t examined anatomy can have a chance to; those who have never talked to a neuroscientist can interact with scientists and students at length; and those who never thought they could contribute to the field might reconsider. How these goals are accomplished falls into the second point of what outreach should consist of. As in any communicative relationship\, outreach involves the flow of information\, and both outreach participant and community members have much to offer. Partnering with on campus organizations that promote diversity (e.g.\, NIH BUILD EXITO\, PSU’s Equity & Empowerment Corps) is key. To ensure engagement\, people have to be motivated or no progress can be made. A variety of methods have and will be used to engage attention in the club’s efforts\, including the arts\, games and one on one education. Our club uses low cost\, portable devices to measure electrophysiological responses\, the direct handling of actual human and animal brains\, and games based on brainwaves. Providing resources that invite engagement and garner interest are required for successful\, memorable outreach. The final concept goes beyond the resources of the present and provides resources for the future. An outreach experience should make access to the field a real possibility. The availability of paid internships\, jobs\, opportunities to get involved\, scholarships\, and creative outlets for expression can remain an active part of one’s life\, even once the Neuroscience Club has left. These three points drive our club towards more expansive\, effective outreach. \n \nKeywords: diversity\, neuroscience\, educational outreach \nA THIRD Noggin poster was prepared by PSU Psychology undergraduate and Noggin volunteer Jordan Ray! \nDemocratizing electrophysiological research technology for educational enrichment\, public science\, and inspiring the future generation of STEM researchers \n \nRay\, J.* **\, Griesar\, W.S.* ** *** \nAt any given time\, in every corner of our bodies\, we experience millions of electrical fluctuations. These minute changes in voltage regulate the functions of our nervous system\, instructions to and from the brain and spinal cord\, directing neurons to fire in specific spatial and temporal sequence. These are exciting\, critical events that captivate the minds of young students we meet through outreach with the nonprofit NW Noggin. However\, it’s one thing to talk about electrophysiology\, but why not demonstrate it in the classroom in real time? \nAll of these electrical signatures can be captured\, amplified and measured using electrophysiological recording equipment. Traditionally\, use of these systems required large financial investment. Research grade electrocardiogram (ECG)\, electroencephalography (EEG)\, and electrodermal activity (EDA) equipment are costly to obtain and not easy to transport. For these reasons\, they are typically inaccessible to the average K-12 student at public school. Yet advancements in technology now offer the opportunity for greater public accessibility. \nThe aim of this project was to assemble low-cost equipment that could measure ECG\, EDA\, EMG\, and EEG to educate kids in public school\, and allow them to conduct experiments in their own environment. Through builds using various Arduino microcontrollers\, simple analog voltage sensors\, and homemade\, DIY cabling solutions\, we have recorded ECG\, EDA and EMG. With the addition of an inexpensive OpenBCI Ganglion board\, we can record EEG signals as well. \nThis opens up a world of discovery for kids at the institutions we serve\, allowing students to learn more about technology surrounding electrophysiological equipment while also being able to hook up these systems and see voltage changes in real time. Many find the ability to assemble equipment at home a revelation and have been given resources to put together their own kits. We hope to expand this idea into inexpensive open source Arduino kits for students and teachers to use in their own classrooms. \nMembers of the neuroscience research community should connect with students in our own communities. Taking time to democratize research and information helps encourage the next generation of scientists. I believe that the average researcher/student/professor/community member deserves intuitive and flexible equipment that can help us discover more about electrophysiological aspects of ourselves and the world around us. \n \n*Portland State University; **NW Noggin (nwnoggin.org)\, ***OHSU \n \nCLICK HERE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT NOGGIN PLANS AT SfN
