  • Applied advanced statistical techniques to analyze large-scale datasets, generating valuable insights that informed future research directions.

  • Presented this research at the 2025 Barton College Day of Scholarship.
  • The project applies the Gate Control Theory of pain to perception of effort during running. It ties physiological measures (oxygen uptake, heart rate, respiratory rate, RER) to perceptual measures (muscle aches / pain / fatigue, motivation during the task, and interpretation of physiological sensations) in a 30-minute run. In practical terms, we run a participant through a VO2max test on one day, then on another day they come back and do a 30-minute run while we assess physiological and psychological measures.
