Brain Activity and Behavioral Indicators of Sensory Processing (BABeIS)

SIEFL Core ⟩ insp!re Lab ⟩

Principal Investigator: Grace Baranek PhD, OTR/L, FAOTA

Co-Investigator: Sapir Soker-Elimaliah

Project Co-ordinators: Julia Lisle OTD, OTR/L; Sapir Soker-Elimaliah

BABeIS is an in-person study that aims to understand the brain-behavior connection in relation to sensory processing in infants 6-16 months. Participants will come to the Insp!re lab for a two hour visit. During the visit, infants will wear the EEG cap (see picture above) while watching a silent movie and listening to a series of beeps. The EEG cap is completely safe for infants and will feel like wearing a swimming cap. The cap has soft sponges that will touch the infant’s head. Additionally, parents will be asked to complete a set of questionnaires about their child’s behaviors.
