So many of the great ideas in our lab have come from the undergraduates. Unlike post-docs and grad students, the undergrads are unjaded, and take critical positions on everything we do. The undergrads are the heart of the lab...
Students testify that the lab experience, featuring daily coffee hours with Hauser, is a lot of fun, but the best part is still working with the animals. “It’s very humbling to be outsmarted by a one-pound monkey,” Spaulding says. “I think everyone at Harvard could use that once in a while...

For example, The Crimson’s Editorial Board—a slightly pretentious, left-leaning and rebellious motley crew—emboldened me, pushed me to the right of center and taught me how to work along...

...work of the PEAR lab has its origins in senior thesis research conducted by a Princeton undergraduate in the late 1970s who sought to determine whether a person could psychically influence the outcome of an otherwise random experiment. The student sought to test the existence of this type of psychokinesis with the use of a random events generator (REG), which essentially functions as a glorified coin-tossing machine. The undergrad aimed to see if the focused thoughts of the REG’s human operator could, over the course of numerous trials, produce an unambiguously non-random outcome (i.e. more...
