Cognitive Testing

Caption

Research assistants Samantha Riedy, Regan Permito, and Beth Lewis (front to back) review a cognitive performance test while preparing for a sleep deprivation study in the laboratory at WSU Spokane. The wires on the table are attached to a subject's fingers to measure skin conductance, which provides a measure of the salience of information during decision making and offers insight into cognitive flexibility impairment.
