Research opportunities as an undergrad?

I'm really interested in cognitive neuroscience research but I'm not sure how to get started. Should I cold email professors? What should I include in my email? Do I need prior research experience to get started? Would love to hear from anyone who's been through this process.

To freshmen psych majors: Take stats seriously!

I'm a junior now and I wish someone had told me freshman year: modern psychology is HEAVILY statistics-based. If you want to do research or go to grad school, you need strong quantitative skills. Don't skip stats or research methods thinking psychology is all about therapy and feelings.
