Abstract:
I have been on faculty at CI for 14 years, and this was my first sabbatical leave. The
objective for this leave was to allow me to receive hands-on training in using the
electroencephalography (EEG) technology that was needed for data collection for a pilot
study and future studies. Obtaining training in EEG was not otherwise possible through
my normal workload assignments. The leave was particularly valuable in providing me
with enhanced opportunities to increase mastery in using an EEG test and developing
an EEG experimental paradigm. The acquired set of skills was needed to start data
collection for a pilot study in a timely manner. This sabbatical project also assisted in my
ability to advance in my scholarly work and improve my teaching effectiveness.
