Many Tufts professors are actively engaged in research, and volunteering in a research lab on campus is a great way to gain work experience and skills. Additionally, volunteering can be used for class credit.
The ENP department has several active labs pursuing different areas of interest.
Led by Professor Nathan Ward, the lab seeks to understand the underlying mechanisms of cognition. They focus on multitasking and studies seeking to affect cognition through the use of brain stimulation and training.
