NEUROCOGNITIVE AND BEHAVIORAL DEVELOPMENT LAB

Welcome to the Neurocognitive and Behavioral Development Laboratory (NBDL) at the University of Florida. Our laboratory strives to be the pioneer in understanding neurophysiological mechanisms underlying sensorimotor and neurocognitive issues in individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) across the lifespan. Our laboratory employs a range of systems and neuroscience approaches including structural and functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), electroencephalography (EEG), electromyography (EMG), and kinetic and kinematic movement analyses to identify behavioral, brain, and neurobiological markers for diseases with the goals of informing diagnosis, predicting risk of comorbid conditions, and improving treatment options. Our team promotes multidisciplinary collaboration focused on health diversity and disparity.
