 [[teaching:writing_assignment_part_2|Neuroimaging meta-analysis assignment instructions]]
+\\
+Doing a neuroimaging analysis doesn't have to be rocket science.  Done correctly, it can be a great way to understand commonalities and differences between cognitive skills, and to learn about the limitations of neuroimaging results.
+The above page gives the (very!) detailed instructions for conducting a neuroimaging meta-analysis comparing two different cognitive skills.  This is an assignment for my Cognitive Psychology course.

+Students often ask whether everyone perceives colors the same way.  This assignment illustrates how variable individuals' choices are when they pick colors to go along with common color words.  The results are used to teach concepts of color theory.
