The focus of the research program is twofold: Developmental Processes and Brain and Development.
Within the context of Developmental Processes the emphasis is on (a) nonlinear dynamical modeling, artificial neural network modeling and experimental analysis of cognitive development, and (b) construction and application of adaptive signal analysis techniques (dipole analysis) to longitudinal EEG/MEG measurements.
The research into Brain and Development centers on (a) development of neurocognitive control along the lifespan, and (b) construction and application of experimental tasks to the analysis of individual differences, clinical groups, and variations in organismic state. The growing interaction between themes is facilitated by a shared interest in Mental Chronometry; i.e., modeling of the reaction process and application of mental chronometry and chronopsychophysiolog y to cognitive development.
