<p>I am a rising senior and I work in a neuroscience lab (I slice up monkey brains, process them and enter data). I want to apply to PhD programs in clinical and counseling psychology, but I’m not sure if neuroscience research counts towards “research experience”. Are these PhD programs more concerned with an applicant having hands on psychology research experience, or are they more concerned with an applicant’s experience in research in general (i.e. data entry, statistical methods, etc.)?</p>
