Researchers literally roll out a red carpet leading children to the “throne.” They talk with kids about wearing silly crowns, one of which resembles a hairnet that slips over a child’s head. The soft sensors in this net detect the electrical activity of the brain and tell researchers how this activity changes in response to a task at any given point in time, millisecond by millisecond. The sensors provide information about how much activity is generated and allow researchers to estimate what parts of the brain are engaged. Brain wave measures are being combined with behavioral research measures in new ways that may advance knowledge of typical and atypical development, predict response to treatment, and measure treatment effectiveness. The Psychophysiology Laboratory is directed by Sasha Key, Ph.D., a research assistant professor who was recruited jointly by the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center and Department of Hearing and Speech Sciences in August 2004.
