Current Studies

Word Learning Study NIRS:

Is you child between 24-36 months? Are they monolingual or Spanish bilingual? If so, sign up to participate in our in-person study! In this study, we’ll use an fNIRS cap to track your toddler’s brain activity while they learn a set of unfamiliar words. Your participation will only take about 90 minutes. Sign up to participate here!

MAGIC:

Is your baby just under 12 months old? Are you interested in participating in a study that observes your child’s health and development for their first two years of life? This multi-departmental study explores the influence of infant eating behaviors and whether or not these eating behaviors determine weight gain trajectories, health outcomes, and obesity risk. Your participation in this study will include two in-person sessions: one at 12 months of age and one at 24 months. For more information visit the MAGIC Study website!
