Infant Mind, Brain, and Behavioral Development
Jed Elison’s program of research seeks to characterize typical and atypical patterns of brain and behavioral development in early childhood. Identifying neurodevelopmental disabilities, and specifically autism spectrum disorder, at the earliest possible age increases the likelihood of benefiting from early interventions. To accomplish these goals, he leverages innovative technological and computational tools and strategies to characterize infant mind, brain, and behavioral development.
