I am new to WIZRD this year, but I started brainstorming. I began thinking about stress testing and comparing it to brainwave patterns. I think a cool project would be relating different activities to stress levels.

I studied how EEGs work, the different waves, and how each point is applied.

I started looking at the pupil-labs eye tracking glasses. I am starting to think of how to use these to study attention span. A possible essential question that I am thinking about is: Does television help us stay on task? How much work gets done in relation to how much the television is distracting.

I am looking at how to transfer the recordings and what information those recordings tell us. I am having trouble keeping the eye tracker focused on my pupil, which could be a result of my black mascara being confused for my pupil.

I realized I hadn’t been saving a lot of my journal entries. Recap, I wanted to grow different plants, but realized the plants I wanted to grow were too big. I tested my hair not washing it after 2 days, 3 days, and 4 days, to see if the idea that if you shouldn’t wash your hair more than twice a week. I haven’t done more research since putting my swabs in the incubator. I swabbed the stick on my scalp and then twisted that sample onto the tray. I then placed this in my incubator and left it for about two weeks. Because this hair project isn’t long term, I had a ocnversation with Tim that inspired I a project I may be interested in. During COVID, all people under the age of 18 missed out on important developmental years regarding social skills, recognizing faces, etc. My research question is: How did the pandemic negatively affect different age groups? What are strategies to help these kids catch up to where their social-emotional skills could be?
