I am very interested in research in the fields of psychology and neuroscience. I realized that I was interested in the research after designing an independent research project my senior year of high school. This project focused on comparing the reported caloric values that are seen on nutrition labels to the actual caloric values as measured by a calorimeter. This research was spurred by the discovery that companies can have a 20% margin of error on the caloric values that are reported; I wondered if companies would under-report caloric values to make their products seem more appealing to customers, as many prefer lower calorie products. The research paper is attached here.
