Applicant Signature and Confirmation of Information

The University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign is committed to maintaining a safe environment for all members of the

University community. As part of this commitment, the University requires applicants who are under current indictment or

have been convicted of a crime (other than a routine traffic offense or in a juvenile proceeding) to disclose this information

as a mandatory step in the application process. A previous conviction or current indictment does not automatically bar

admission to the University, but does require review. Complete information must be sent by certified mail at the time of

application for admission to: Review Committee, 300 Turner Student Services Building, 610 East John Street, Champaign,

Illinois 61820 USA. Applicants are responsible for verifying receipt by the University and for maintaining a copy of the

receipt certifying submission. Information to be submitted includes a brief explanation, location (city, state, country) ofconviction or current indictment, dates, and court disposition, in English. This statement must include a grant of permission

to the University for complete access to criminal records, if any. For further information on this requirement, call (217) 333-

0050.

I understand that withholding pertinent information requested on this application or giving false information will make me

ineligible for admission to the University or subject to dismissal. With this in mind, I certify that the statements are correct

and complete, including a report of all criminal history as described above. Furthermore, I agree that if I am employed by th

University of Illinois, I will adhere to and be bound by the University of Illinois Statutes, the General Rules Concerning

University Organization and Procedure adopted by the Board of Trustees, and any and all other applicable rules and

regulations of the University and its Board of Trustees.

Rational people act based on incentives for self-fulfillment, including fulfilling needs

of self-development and needs of feeling useful and helpful to others. I look forward to

fulfilling my quest to advance my knowledge and I plan to use my critical thinking skills

by studying the subject I am passionate about, neuroscience.

I desire to attend graduate study at the University of Illinois, a leader and innovator inscientific research, because the university will provide opportunities to pursue my

foremost passions, the science of learning, cognition and memory. I have always been

fascinated by the complexities of a long lost thought seemingly arising out of nowhere

into a stream of awareness. These fascinations likely stemmed from my interest in

puzzles and paradoxes as an adolescent and continued through my curiosity in academic

research.

Making new discoveries in neuroscience is intrinsically rewarding in its own right. I

have an unquenchable curiosity, a strong desire to know and explore the unknown, and a

need to persist against the odds. Graduate study at the University of Illinois will provide a

focus for me to perform and achieve through neuroscience research.

To prepare myself for graduate study at the University of Illinois, I soughtinvolvement in a general array of academic research. My first summer internship, at the

Salk Institute of Biological Studies, was done while I was still in high school. Working in

Terrence Sejnowsky's computational neurobiology lab, I had little experience in

computer programming and the work was challenging to say the least. Nonetheless, I

taught myself how to program in Flash and then constructed a cross-temporal calibration

model. The purpose of this model was to show an illusion between cause and effect

relationships. In this illusion, the mind is actually tricked into believing an action

precedes the event that caused it. Completing the project and presenting my model at the

end of the internship was exhilarating and I believe graduate study at the University of

Illinois will provide commensurate opportunities for a satisfying neuroscience research

experience.

Another laboratory I worked in was within the department of chemistry at the

University of California, Riverside. Having previously been exposed to a computational

approach, I wanted to explore the facets of chemical analysis. Beginning by making

buffer solutions, I soon advanced into more complicated techniques. These included

performing high performance liquid chromatography, mass spectrometry and ultra violet

spectroscopy on a modified twelve mer dna sequence. With the end product we

bombarded the dna with ultra violet rays to observe cancerous effects. Although I don't

plan on curing cancer in graduate school I believe this research experience is worthwhile

and relevant to my goals of contributing to neuroscience. Only with a multidisciplinary

perspective to the specialized field of neuroscience can we hope to fully understand the

brain.

The most recent laboratory I worked in was the Flight Lab in the department of

cellular biology and neuroscience. Working in this lab enabled me to distinguish

structural and quantitative differences in neural systems at a lower level of functional

analysis. I dissected various flight muscles of Passeriformes and then stained their motor

end plates. With these stained muscles, I compared their arrangements to the stained

muscles of hummingbirds, which have a unique motor end plate pattern. In the future my

Personal Statement James Holm49203

goal is to analyze and study higher neural functional levels of analysis such as learning

and memory.

Researching learning and memory interests me because these are the very cognitive

processes which enable us to acquire information and retain it. They are at the core of

what distinguishes us as people. Due to the seemingly infinite vastness of indefinite

knowledge we must be selective in our pursuits of knowledge. This is why I have chosento study the primary source of all things, our own minds.

Ultimately, I aspire to become a cognitive neuroscientist. I intend to continue

performing research after graduate school in either academic or public sectors. My life-

long goal is to increase the efficiency of how human beings learn and remember.
