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

SUMMARY:Noggin @ Bridges Middle School
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin visit to Bridges Middle School \nWe did it! Learn more at the LINK… \nMaking our own boxes\, and brains!\n \nWHERE: Bridges Middle School\, 2510 SW 1st Ave\, Portland\, OR 97201 \nWHEN: Thursday\, February 14\, 2019 (Happy Valentine’s Day!)\, 9 – 11:00am \nContact: Heather Hofeld\, Science Teacher \n“The most interesting people you’ll find are ones that don’t fit into your average cardboard box. They’ll make what they need\, they’ll make their own boxes” –Dr. Temple Grandin \n \nBridges is one of the few schools in Oregon devoted to students with learning differences. We’ll meet with students in 5th through 8th grade\, discover what they already know about brains\, examine brains and make brain-related art… \nFrom Science Teacher Heather Hofeld: “We have a wide range of cognitive ability at Bridges with students performing below grade level and those who could probably handle college course work! We have studied body systems and cells this year with the nervous system taking center stage right now. My students have already learned about the basics of neurons and have created paintings of neurons which are currently up in the hallway… \n \n \nLEARN MORE: MAKE Brain Map \nLEARN MORE: STEAM Projects \n“I like the brain mapping activity. We are currently learning about the four major lobes of the brain and then we will investigate some of the substructures. A mapping activity might reinforce what we are doing right now.” \n \nWe’ll make two large brain maps on the floor with colored craft paper  –  one a side (lateral) view and one cut right down the middle\, front to back (mid-sagittal). We’ll identify the different lobes (which students have been studying) with different colors. And then we’ll use different colored yarn to connect regions that are linked both structurally and functionally into networks. \n \nImage by Aaron Eisen\, PSU Neuro Club \nFrom Eric Fezco at OHSU: “What might be interesting is to label the different large scale regions by systems\, and then identify which systems may be implicated across ADHD and autism\, depending on what might be altered behaviorally. We’ve been working on a study examining this in the context of executive function\, so it might be a good fit here.” \nCOMMITTED PARTICIPANTS\nEric Fezco\, OHSU\nMichael Deveney\, PSU\nAndrew Stanley\, PSU\nBill Griesar\, PSU/OHSU/NW Noggin\nJeff Leake\, PSU/NW Noggin

SUMMARY:Supernatural Science: Battling Demons in the Brain
DESCRIPTION:WHAT: Noggin joins the “Psychology of Supernatural” panel at Portland’s Wizard World Comic-Con! \n \nWe did it! Learn more at this link… \nCarry on my wayward son\n \nWHERE: Oregon Convention Center\, 777 NE Martin Luther King Jr Blvd Portland\, OR 97232 \nWHEN: Saturday\, February 23\, 5:30pm \nPANEL LOCATION: B110\nBRAIN VIEWING LOCATION (after panel): C125 \n“Join tens of thousands of fans as they converge at Wizard World Comic Con Portland to celebrate the best in pop culture…” \n \nWe’re excited to join the Wizard World Comic-Con panel on the “Psychology of Supernatural!” \n \n“Every urban legend has a source. A place where it all began…” – Hook Man (2005) \nREAD THE BOOK: Supernatural Psychology: Roads Less Traveled \nBill Griesar of NW Noggin\, Portland State University and OHSU will join Erin Currie\, Adjunct Assistant Professor at PSU and Consultant at MyPsychgeek\, and Janina Scarlett\, a clinical psychologist\, author and originator of Superhero Therapy at Wizard World Comic-Con on Saturday\, February 23! \n \n“Neurons are like Spiderman” -artwork by Portland State undergraduate Keys Le \nLISTEN: Superhero Therapy Podcast E14: Psychology of Supernatural \nWe are excited (even depolarized!) to explore the psychological and neuroscience aspects of battling demons\, perceiving ghosts\, and the power of family support and storytelling to illuminate\, guide and heal… \n \nPerception and cognition depend on brains and bodies\, and research is illuminating the rich inherent diversity in our unique\, changeable and developing neural networks\, and both the personal and shared experiences which shape who we are… \n \nYour own thoughts\, perceptions and experiences are genuine: so what’s going on..? \nGrief\, trauma\, sleep disturbances\, sleep paralysis\, prosopagnosia\, memory impairments\, drug dependence\, anxiety\, PTSD\, Capgras syndrome\, panic disorder\, temporal lobe epilepsy\, macular degeneration\, musical ear syndrome\, Charles Bonnet\, psychological biases and a host of other aspects of our remarkable brains and behavior may contribute to dramatic\, “Supernatural” experiences. \n \n“I guess I was seeing things.” “That doesn’t mean it wasn’t real.” \nBrothers Sam and Dean suffer multiple traumatic losses throughout 14 seasons of this popular show\, and cope with their pain differently\, in both adaptive and maladaptive ways. We all struggle to regulate our emotions\, and Sam appears to aim for a strategy known as re-appraisal by talking situations out with other people\, including his brother\, to consider new approaches. Dean\, in contrast\, tends towards suppression and distraction through alcohol and one night stands  –  but also\, of course\, by fighting monsters (“My peace is helping people\, working cases; that’s all I want to do”)… \n \n“You’re tailspinning man\, and you refuse to talk about it and you won’t let me help you” -Sam to Dean\, from Heart (season 2\, episode 17) \nLEARN MORE: Antecedent- and response-focused emotion regulation: divergent consequences for experience\, expression\, and physiology \nRe-appraisal is usually a more effective strategy\, partly because it prepares you to respond less fearfully or impulsively to (for example) a hex bag or a crossroads demon\, rather than trying to clamp down on your emotions once a “fight or flight” response is in full swing. \n \nCortical networks (indicated in blue) are involved in perceptual aspects of what you’re experiencing\, attending to and deciding\, while networks in red (involving both subcortical and cortical regions) drive faster\, more impulsive\, emotional responses… \nLEARN MORE: Functional imaging studies of emotion regulation: A synthetic review and evolving model of the cognitive control of emotion \nThere are moving\, therapeutic conversations between the brothers\, and between the brothers and other characters (including fellow Hunter Bobby Singer and the angel Castiel)\, involving efforts to remind each other of family loyalty and support\, and consider options in more positive and effective ways. \nYet a quick\, fear or anger-driven emotional impulsive response might be essential in many other circumstances encountered in the show. If a Wendigo is racing towards you at lightning speed\, you want all the sympathetic nervous system activation you can get! And of course\, a Rakshasa dressed as a clown is going to increase Sam’s heart rate and blood pressure (mine too!) no matter how much re-appraisal he’s done… \n \nEfforts to regulate emotions through re-appraisal and suppression tend to decrease activity in a brain region known as the amygdala (a)\, while increasing the activity of networks in the frontal lobe\, including the ventrolateral prefrontal cortex (PFC) (b)\, dorsolateral PFC (d)\, and medial PFC (c) that are critical for inhibiting impulsive emotional responses… \nLEARN MORE: Brain Imaging Investigation of the Neural Correlates of Emotion Regulation \n \n“And like you say\, we’re family  –  and we don’t leave family behind” -Dean to Castiel \nWhen we see character struggles on a celebrated TV show\, it resonates with our own traumatic experiences. You are not alone in experiencing stress\, and one way to cope is to find meaning  –  connection with others\, loyalty to family\, a life purpose\, a valued and critical skill… \nWe’ve also referenced actor Jared Padelecki’s efforts to educate about depression in the past… \n\nChanging Brain Waves of Depression\n\n \nBreathe\, by Pacific Northwest artist Sienna Morris \n“Family’s everything you know” -Dean \nLEARN MORE: Always Keep Fighting \nSo…which pipe cleaner neuron best embodies the Supernatural Devil..? 🙂 \n \nLiking the red of the rosehip neuron  –  but maybe something more dopaminergic… 😏😈 \nLEARN MORE: Rosehip neurons in pipe cleaners! \n \nDecided on a motivational dopaminergic neuron from the ventral tegmental area (VTA)\, which responds to stimuli predicting delivery of some reward… \n \nThe Devil is in the dopamine… 🙂 \nLEARN MORE: New perspectives on catecholaminergic regulation of executive circuits \n \nWe’ll also have (extra!) human cerebrums available after the panel in C125 for anyone interested in asking more questions about the relationship between perception\, cognition\, behavior and our brains… \nCOMMITTED BRAIN WRANGLER PARTICIPANTS\nJoey Seuferling\, NW Noggin\nJeff Leake\, Art Coordinator\, NW Noggin\nAndrew Stanley\, PSU
