UPDATE: As of Sept. 1, I am no longer accepting applications for the seminar. All students who submitted an application prior to Sept. 1 are invited to attend the first class meeting. There is room for a few more students, and I will admit students from the waiting list after the first class. Attendance at the first class is required; please bring a copy of your completed application. PLEASE DO NOT register for the seminar until I have admitted you!

Questions? write to me at lep1@psych.columbia.edu with PSYC 3410 in the subject line.

Declared psychology or neuroscience and behavior majors and psychology postbacs are given preference in seminar admission, as are seniors followed by juniors. Other things being equal, students who have the best preparation (course-wise) and strongest motivation will be selected. Selection by lottery will be used only as a last resort.

IMPORTANT: Admitted students will lose their place in the seminar if they miss the first class meeting.
