DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The goal of this Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) application is to create supplemental educational materials that will fill a major void in the undergraduate neuroscience and behavioral science curriculum: A lack of educational tools that give students the opportunity to learn neuroscience by working hands-on with neuroimaging data. This Phase 1 project will evaluate the feasibility of creating multimedia CD-ROMs (student and teacher's versions), a teacher's manual, and a student workbook that will supplement curricula used in undergraduate psychology, biology, neuroscience, and other science courses. Entitled NeuroVisions: Teaching neuroscience with neuroimaging data, the materials will involve students in discovery-based explorations of addiction, memory, language, emotion, and consciousness with real data provided by leading neuroimaging scientists. Students will formulate hypotheses, design experiments, process and analyze brain imaging data, perform statistical analyses, draw conclusions based on their analyses, and write up findings in research reports. The project's emphasis on image manipulation and image analysis will afford a novel and accessible learning experience for today's visually oriented undergraduate students. The "hybrid" structure to be employed in NeuroVisions will include a learning and application module (LAM) and research and discovery module (RDM) in each lesson. This structure will help bridge students from the simple explorations of imaging data in the LAMS to in-depth, statistical research on complete data sets in the RDMs. The hybrid structure will thus increase the flexibility of the NeuroVisions materials. Instructors of survey courses who wish to introduce students to neuroimaging and key neuroscience concepts will use the; Instructors of research methods and other in-depth classes will add the RDMs. Six milestones will be accomplished during project: (1) finalize a table of contents for the NeuroVisions materials; (2) program new Java-based features for the instructional materials; (3) develop a prototype lesson for the full set of NeuroVisions materials; (4) field-test the prototype lesson at two undergraduate institutions; (5) develop a plan for field-testing the full set of Neurovisions materials at undergraduate institutions throughout the United States; and (6) create a commercialization plan for the lessons. Collaborating in the project is the Ahmanson Lovelace Brain Mapping Center at UCLA; the Functional Imaging Laboratory at University College of London's Wellcome Department of Imaging Neuroscience; WestEd Regional Educational Laboratory; the Department of Psychology at the University of Arizona; and Davidson College in North Carolina.

描述（由申请人提供）：这项小型企业创新研究（SBIR）申请的目的是创建补充教育材料，这些材料将填补本科神经科学和行为科学课程中的主要空白：缺乏教育工具，这些教育工具可以使学生有机会通过互助神经成像来学习神经科学。该第1阶段项目将评估创建多媒体CD-ROM（学生和教师版本），教师手册以及学生工作簿的可行性，该工作簿将补充用于本科心理学，生物学，神经科学和其他科学课程的课程。题为神经循环：使用神经影像学数据教授神经科学，这些材料将涉及学生对成瘾，记忆，语言，情感和意识的基于发现的探索，并通过领先的神经成像科学家提供的真实数据。学生将提出假设，设计实验，处理和分析大脑成像数据，进行统计分析，根据他们的分析得出结论，并在研究报告中写出发现。该项目对图像操纵和图像分析的重视将为当今视觉上的本科生提供新颖且可访问的学习体验。在每个课程中，在神经循环中使用的“混合”结构将包括学习和应用模块（LAM）和研究与发现模块（RDM）。这种结构将帮助学生摆脱对LAM中的成像数据的简单探索，从RDMS中的完整数据集进行深入的统计研究。因此，杂种结构将提高神经循环材料的柔韧性。希望向学生介绍神经影像学和关键神经科学概念的调查课程讲师将使用；研究方法的讲师和其他深入的课程将添加RDM。在项目期间将完成六个里程碑：（1）最终确定神经电视材料的目录； （2）为教学材料计划新的基于Java的功能； （3）为完整的神经循环材料开发原型课程； （4）在两个本科机构的原型课程测试； （5）制定一项计划，以在美国各地的本科机构中对全套神经化材料进行现场测试； （6）为课程创建商业化计划。在该项目中合作的是加州大学洛杉矶分校的Ahmanson Lovelace Brain映射中心；伦敦大学惠康大学成像神经科学系的功能成像实验室；西部地区教育实验室；亚利桑那大学心理学系；和北卡罗来纳州的戴维森学院。
