Auditory Neuroscience Association at Purdue (ANAP)
Overview:
ANAP brings together undergraduates, graduate students, staff, and faculty who study or are interested in developing the necessary skills and intuition to study Auditory Neuroscience. Drawing from our collective diverse clinical and technical experiences, we are able to enrich the professional development and training of our group. We typically host 3-5 student-led discussions per semester, which cover topics such as current or relevant literature (journal-club format), statistical design of experiments, or good coding practices. Throughout our rigorous discussions, we help each other understand novel approaches and perspectives, and address several challenges we as researchers face or may face. Our discussions often lead to inter-lab collaborations across departments and colleges at Purdue.
