Barrett

Barrett, The Honors College at Arizona State University proudly showcases the work of undergraduate honors students by sharing this collection exclusively with the ASU community.

Barrett accepts high performing, academically engaged undergraduate students and works with them in collaboration with all of the other academic units at Arizona State University. All Barrett students complete a thesis or creative project which is an opportunity to explore an intellectual interest and produce an original piece of scholarly research. The thesis or creative project is supervised and defended in front of a faculty committee. Students are able to engage with professors who are nationally recognized in their fields and committed to working with honors students. Completing a Barrett thesis or creative project is an opportunity for undergraduate honors students to contribute to the ASU academic community in a meaningful way.

Thinking Brains: An Introduction to Neuroscientific Thought

Description
An introduction to neuroscientific thought aimed at an audience that is not educated in biology. Meant to be readable and easily understood by anyone with a high school education. The first section is completed in its entirety, with outlines for the proposed final sections to be completed over the next…

An introduction to neuroscientific thought aimed at an audience that is not educated in biology. Meant to be readable and easily understood by anyone with a high school education. The first section is completed in its entirety, with outlines for the proposed final sections to be completed over the next few years.

The Effect of Active Sensing on Odor Perception and Associative Learning in Honeybees

Description
Active sensing is a sensory phenomenon in which organisms use self-generated energy to examine their surroundings. This experiment strives to better understand active sensing in honeybees, predicting that active sensing may display itself primarily through antennae movement and that preventing antennae movement may result in differences in electroantennogram dose-response curves…

Active sensing is a sensory phenomenon in which organisms use self-generated energy to examine their surroundings. This experiment strives to better understand active sensing in honeybees, predicting that active sensing may display itself primarily through antennae movement and that preventing antennae movement may result in differences in electroantennogram dose-response curves and associative learning plasticity. This will be done by examining changes in amplitude in electroantennogram response in both fixed-antenna and free-antenna bees over the course of a differential training protocol that establishes learned behavior discrimination.
