Research Studies
Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience Lab University of Connecticut
Director: Inge-Marie Eigsti, Ph.D.
Dr. Eigsti joined the faculty at UConn after completing a post- doctoral fellowship at Columbia University in New York City. Research in our lab is focused on improving the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of autism and other disabilities. We study how people learn and talk about the world around them. We are especially interested in how basic brain processes influence how we communicate and interact socially with other people. Our projects, which use a combination of computer games and, sometimes, brain imaging (MRI) are designed to be both fun and informative!
We are actively looking for adults with autism spectrum disorders to participate in our studies. Our brain imaging (MRI) study for adolescents and adults age 12 and over takes place at Institute of Living (Hartford Hospital). Participants will be compensated and, for the MRI study, can take home a picture of their brain! If you are interested, or know someone else who might be, please contact us at: (860) 486-6021 or DCNLab@uconn.edu.
