We feel that it is imperative as an educational neuroscience laboratory to translate insights from the laboratory to educational practice and theory. Some examples of our research include:

Neuroscience of internal environment such as grit, motivation, mindset, and resilience.

How do we inherit brain networks, cognitive and character traits? Research on intergenerational transmission patterns using a natural cross-fostering design, genetics, & imaging.

Genes to cognition. Research to understand auditory processing, dyslexia & related disabilities using a comprehensive approach from genes, neurochemicals, oscillations, connectomes, to cognition.

Innovative growth charts for brain networks.Brain version of those for height & weight received from a pediatrician’s office. Collaboration with 20+ sites.

Early identification & personalized education. Development of a comprehensive school-readiness app from reading, math,executive function, character traits and creativity. Development of neuroimaging-based models to predict learning profiles and risk for developing disorders before they can be identified using conventional methods.

Identification of novel subtypes of and examination of relative strength of dyslexia using data-driven approaches.
