Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab at the University of Tennessee Knoxville Our research focuses on the development of attention and memory in infancy.
We also incorporate neuroscientific measures (using an EEG to look at brain waves/activity) to investigate brain development, and other behavioral and physiological measures (eye-tracking, EOG electrodes that measure eye muscle movement) to gain greater developmental insight.
