The DNlab at Brock University and Pathstone Mental Health are partnering on a new research study.
This study looks at how the brain responds when we focus our attention, control impulses and ignore distractors. We want to know about the differences in the brain that help or make it hard for people to pay attention, or make people worried, anxious, or feel like they can never sit still and relax.
This information could help people to understand what is happening in their brain when they focus their attention. This could improve health services offered to children and teens and could one day help clinicians pick the best intervention programs.
