Description:
We study individual differences in brain plasticity and development. We are interested in the impact of environmental influences on the brain, and in designing new interventions to improve children's cognitive environments. Students in the lab assist with all aspects of our research, including recruitment, psychological testing, magnetic resonance imaging, data analysis, and publication.
Preferred Qualifications
We typically look for students who have experience working with children (e.g. at a summer camp or as a babysitter) or who have computer programming experience (Python, R, bash, or Matlab).
