The Undergraduate Poster Session is a hallmark event in the Center's annual programming series. This session fosters meaningful interactions between faculty and students from across the university, all exploring a range of questions related to human cognition—such as learning, memory, perception, language, and decision-making—through behavioral, applied, computational modeling, and cognitive neuroscience approaches. The event highlights the valuable research contributions made by OSU undergraduates and encourages continued innovation and exploration in the field of cognitive science.
