BASC LAB

We are a developmental social cognitive neuroscience laboratory at UC Davis. Our lab is working to uncover how the 'social brain' develops! As humans, we navigate a complex social world in which we communicate, cooperate, and empathize; we reason about the covert contents of the mind to predict and explain overt behavior. From a young age, infants and children are forming the building blocks of social understanding and competent social behavior. We're interested in how the brain supports this development, and how brain developments interact with and are influenced by aspects of the child's environment. We conduct behavioral research in conjunction with the use of EEG, ERP, and fNIRS to examine the neural correlates of social cognition.
