Welcome to our website which describes the studies we are performing to better understand how a young child’s brain develops. This research is being carried out at the Mind Research Network, a non-profit research organization dedicated to using noninvasive means to study brain function across the lifespan. Our research on children combines behavioral testing with safe, neuroimaging technology to  better understand how the brains of infants and toddlers develop. We are studying children with typical brain development as well as children with atypical brain development. Our studies currently focus on children diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy and Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Our goal is to identify information that will lead to an earlier diagnosis of developmental disorders and to improve treatment options for young children diagnosed with epilepsy. We hope to improve the long term outcome for children affected by such disorders. As results become available we will provide updates on our current research projects, please feel free to visit again for follow-up results on these studies.
