Tell the interviewer about your data collection experience related to a surprising study you participated in, and why the results were surprising to you. If you do not have such experience, tell the interviewer about any study you participated in, in a university setting or volunteer capacity. Alternatively, mention the studies that you hope to participate in, as per, e.g., the studies outlined on the company website.
