What is the study about:
- How does your brain work when you focus attention, ignore distractions and control impulses? How do these responses change with development and relate to our mental health?
- We want to learn more about differences in the brain that may make it hard for some people to pay attention, keep calm or stay focused. We hope this will one day lead to better support for people who struggle with attention, impulsiveness or anxiety.
Who can participate:
- Undergraduate Brock university students ages 17-30 years
What’s involved:
