Grace Bacon is a rising junior at Carleton College. She is pursuing a major in psychology and a minor in neuroscience. Her goals are to go to graduate school to become a clinician and is also considering medical school. She is most excited to be able to interact with the community that her research is for.
The Converging Approaches to Neurodevelopment (CAN Lab) has several ongoing studies focused on neurodevelopmental disorders, with an emphasis on youth with Tourette Syndrome/tic disorders, autism, obsessive-compulsive disorder, ADHD, and anxiety. Methods that Grace will gain exposure to include: neuroimaging, cognitive tasks, cognitive training, clinical assessment, video-based behavioral coding, neuromodulation (transcranial magnetic stimulation), EEG, and clinical trials.
