Why Join Us?
The Lab of Developmental Neuroscience uses neuroimaging, eye-tracking and behavioral methodologies to investigate changes in the developing social brain of adolescents.
We are a highly motivated team of researchers dedicated to good research practice, data integrity, and enjoyable participant experience.
We work with an amazing group of families and kids, both typically developing and those diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder. In addition to collecting good data, one of our top priorities is getting kids and teens excited about research, and teaching them about brain science and safety.
