Our researchers have created a child-friendly atmosphere so that children of all ages enjoy visiting the Center for Neurobehavioral Development. When children come to the Center they play games that demonstrate how they learn, solve problems or express their feelings. Sometimes researchers use equipment and scientific techniques to take a closer look at how their brains function. For example, children may wear a cap fitted with sensors that measure brain activity while they play certain games. When children participate in studies at the Center, their parents have a unique opportunity to observe how children's ability to think and learn changes over time.
