CLEARWATER, FL (01/28/2011)(readMedia)-- Clearwater Christian College senior Justin Lewis of Joliet, IL began his senior internship this semester. Justin is working in the field of Neurological Psychology alongside the students of Professor Emanuel Donchin at the University of South Florida.

"I am working in the USF lab," said Justin. "It is an honor to be a part of this competitive program." Justin is working with the Brain Computer Interface (BCI), a cutting-edge machine still in development. According to the USF Psychology website, the BCI is an event related potentials (ERP) based tool that makes it possible for severely disabled individuals to communicate with computers using the P300 as a channel of communication.

After graduation from CCC, Justin hopes to begin graduate studies in either Neurological Psychology or Research/Experimental Psychology, specifically neurological injuries. "I would like to work with neurological injury because it appeals to me. It seems to be the future of psychology. I would like to elicit and give feedback that produces cures, not simply new drugs that only treat the symptoms rather than cure the disease."

Justin is the son of William Lewis of Vernon Hills, IL and Paula Aagaard of Minooka, IL. He is a 2007 graduate of Ridgewood Baptist Academy in Joliet, IL.
