IQP

There have been over 30 WPI undergraduates that have contributed to the project, mainly in the way of creating content for the system while they simultaneously conduct an interesting cognitive science experiment. One of these IQPs (as they are called at WPI) was recently published at the prestigious Cognitive Science 2009 Conference Click here to view the IQP

Some of these IQP reports can be found here at the WPI library
