Our group investigates the early development of the human brain, focusing on how variability in neural and cognitive processes shapes individual trajectories. We aim to identify the mechanisms underlying neurodevelopmental conditions such as autism and ADHD, with the ultimate goal of improving early identification and intervention strategies.
Using a range of cutting-edge methods, including electrophysiology, advanced neuroimaging, and behavioural assessments, we investigate how early differences in brain function emerge and influence long-term outcomes. A significant focus is on infants and young children, particularly those with a family history of neurodevelopmental conditions, to better understand early risk and resilience factors.
We integrate biological, behavioural, and computational data to explore the dynamic processes driving brain development. Our current research projects include examining early markers of neurodevelopmental conditions, understanding the neural mechanisms of resilience, and mapping how early brain activity relates to individual differences in cognition and behaviour.
