In an ongoing study of adult attention control, we are working to better understand how brain processes involved in focusing attention and controlling impulses relate to our mental health. This research is an extension of recent work where we explored the same questions in youth, as part of a large-scale EEG study. We want to see how findings in young adults compares to our findings in children and youth.

We are currently recruiting men, nonbinary, and transgender people to wrap up data collection. If you are interested in participating in our EEG study and are an Undergraduate student at Brock between the ages of 17-30 years old, click to learn more!
