PHYS-P 350 Applied Physics Instrumentation Lab
Physics has seats available in a great course this Fall Term: PHYS-P 350 Applied Physics Instrumentation Lab. This course may be of interest to Psychology and Neuroscience students, particularly those who plan to attend graduate school. This is particularly good for students who want to learn lab instrumentation skills.
Professor Long will accept students with either the PHYS-P 221-222 sequence or the PHYS-P 201-202 sequence. He is waiving the P309 co-req/pre-req. He said P350 isn’t Calculus based, so it’s very accessible. This class has both a lecture and lab component and Thursday afternoon lab conflicts are allowed. So, students can leave the lab Thursday afternoon for up to 1 hr and come back to finish it up later. (They have 24-hr access to the lab.)
PHYS-P 350 18143 Applied Physics Instrumentation Lab
The Physics Instrumentation Laboratory (P350) gives students the chance to acquire skills systematically in instrumentation and data acquisition usually obtained intermittently outside of coursework. It provides a detailed introduction to how electronic sensors work, the signals they produce, and the appropriate instruments for measuring these signals. Students also learn about the effects of background or interfering signals, intrinsic noise, and instrumental limitations in order to evaluate the validity of measurements. The sensors and instruments are used in a series of lab exercises in which students construct a complete desktop data acquisition system. Methods of computer interfacing and control are discussed and used extensively throughout.
Topics to be covered include:
Electronic sensors for light, temperature, sound, magnetism, and other physical quantities.
Signal characterization and noise reduction by amplification, averaging, and filtering.
Signal digitization and aliasing.
Detailed operation of test instruments including digital oscilloscopes, multimeters, and function generators.
Instrument triggering and synchronization.
Computer control and readout of instruments
Instrumentation programming with industry-standard software.
This course is especially useful for applied physics students preparing for internships. However, it also develops skills for solving general problems of measurement and control that students can expect to encounter in research, development, or industrial environments in the physical, earth, and biological sciences. It is designed with the expectation that undergraduates who understand the topics will be more immediately valuable as research assistants and interns, and will have a wider variety of initial career opportunities with a bachelor's degree. At the same time, the skills taught are just as useful to the student who pursues graduate-level experimental research.
Detailed knowledge of the physics of the sensors used will be covered in the lectures. This will be helpful but NOT essential for the practical use of the sensors in the lab projects, on which course grades will be based.
The course is three credit hours with one hour of lecture and four hours of laboratory per week. Prerequisites are Physics II or consent of the instructor. Students will have 24-hour access to the lab, thus STUDENTS WITH A CLASS CONFLICT OF 1 HOUR OR LESS DURING THE 4-HOUR LAB SESSION ARE ALSO WELCOME TO ENROLL.

New Course: First Year Veterans Experience
We are very pleased to offer the following course for the first time this fall. It is designed to ease the transition from military service to higher education and is taught by John Summerlot, a USMC and Army National Guard veteran on the IU staff. The class meets first 8 weeks only, is 2 credits, and can be found under EDUC-U 206 class number 32537. It will meet Tuesdays 5:30-8:30 pm in McNutt 003.
The enrollment is by permission only, so contact vetserv@indiana.edu or jopsumme@indiana.edu if you want to enroll.
This course is based around the idea of creating a documented transition plan for the student to use as future reference and modify as needed. The plan is a well thought out examination of how the student is going to transition to the higher education environment from the military. Each week we will do some activities and have some discussions that focus on a particular aspect of the transition plan occasionally supplemented by lectures or presentations from a variety of sources including the students themselves.
This course is designed to be interactive and on most occasions will allow for customizing the content to fit the needs of the students as a whole and sometimes as individuals.
Please contact me if you need any further information.

Lecture: Thinking with your body - August 5
You are invited to a talk by Anthony Morse, who is visiting from Plymouth University
Thursday, August 5
2:00 p.m.
Psychology Room 128
Title: Thinking with your body
Abstract: In sensorimotor theories of perception and learning, the role of the body and bodily interaction is central to perception. While embodied cognition has been saying this for some time, the extent of the role that the body plays in our everyday thought processes is underappreciated. In this talk I will outline a sensorimotor theory, highlighting some problematic gaps in our account, before discussing a simple model of the approach used to control a humanoid robot (iCub). The model is then demonstrated to replicate some of Smith and Samuelson's 'space and time' experiments, but is more widely considered a model of sensorimotor learning.
