I'm going to Professor Thomas Albright's lab at the Salk Institute for my internship. My mentors are going to be Professor Albright, and Sergei Gepshtein, a scientist at the lab. I don't yet know what my project will be, but I do know that I will be assisting the lab with one of their ongoing projects, and will make a hypothesis for the future at the end of the four weeks. I'm really excited to learn more about neuroscience, and how the brain works. Especially how the neuroscience of perception works, and how perception intermingles with psychology to create our vision of the world. I'm nervous about getting to my internship every day, as I'm going to be taking public transportation to La Jolla. I'm also nervous about finding something to do every day.
