Research Overview
Our research focuses on
identifying neurophysiological mechanisms—such as the functioning of the locus
coeruleus-norepinephrine (LC-NE) system—that influence how children respond to
stress and sensory input. Using innovative tools like pupillometry, EEG, and
machine learning, we aim to detect early signs of mental health risks, particularly
in neurodiverse populations
Requirements
Backgrounds in psychology, medicine, and computer science are preferred. We recommend some skills in scientific programming or/and experience in working with children.
A minimum of 3 months research visit.
