My research interests are in language and reading development in monolingual and bilingual infants, children, and adults. My work includes both typical and atypical language and reading development using a variety of behavioral and brain imaging methods (fMRI, fNIRS).

Exploring Cognitive Functions in Babies, Children & Adults with Near Infrared Spectroscopy

Here we describe a data collection and data analysis method for functional Near Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS), a novel non-invasive brain imaging system used in cognitive neuroscience, particularly in studying child brain development. This method provides a universal standard of data acquisition and analysis vital to data interpretation and scientific discovery.
