EPIGENETIC INFLUENCES ON SOCIAL BRAIN DEVELOPMENT
Ages: 0 - 4 months
We are looking at how gene expression and brain activity shape social development over the first year of life.
We ask that you will make 4-5 visits to the lab, when your child is 0, 4, 8, 12, and 16 months old.
Infants will:
Undergo EEG while presented with social and nonsocial stimuli
Use an eye-tracker while viewing pictures and videos of shapes and people
Undergo a recorded play session with their parent
Provide a small sample of saliva for DNA analysis
The parent will also provide a small sample of saliva.
Compensation:
As a thank you for your time, you will be compensated with a $50 visa gift card at the end of each visit. Maximum payment is $250.
