Lab Mission


Welcome to ‘The Auditory Brain and Cognitive Development Laboratory’ (ABCD Lab). Our lab mission is to better understand the behavioral and brain correlates of human sound processing (such as music and speech) in both typical and atypical development, such as autism. Our multidisciplinary team includes researchers and trainees from the basic and applied sciences, including cognitive neuroscience, and clinical and developmental psychology.
