The DNlab at Brock University and Pathstone Mental Health partnered on a research study on children and youth.
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.
Interested in our findings?
Members of the lab have been working hard to share their findings from the data collected in this project. They have presented at conferences, defended theses, and created videos to showcase their results.
We are still working very hard to publish the research we collected. However, if you are interested in learning about what the students have been presenting so far, check out some research posters below!
Note: Research posters get printed at very large sizes, so be sure to right click the images and open them in a new tab to see them more clearly!
