Yale Clinical Affective Neuroscience and Development Lab

Welcome to the Clinical Affective Neuroscience & Development Lab at Yale! We invite you to help us understand how the brain works! Children, teens, and young adults (ages 6-30) are invited to participate in research to help us understand how the brain develops and how we think and learn about emotions. You can receive up to $365 for participation, and this is a fun way for people of all ages to get involved in science! Learn more by visiting our website (candlab.yale.edu). Parents and adults can contact us at [email protected] or (203) 432-1316 if interested in participating, and we look forward to meeting you!

Today we’re introducing Janice Dean, who is one of our undergraduate research assistants. Janice is graduating this year and works with processing the data for our Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE) clinical trial as well as conducting phone screens for research participation eligibility. Some of Janice’s research interests include the ways in which social and cultural buffers to psychopathological development can be implemented in the educational system. Super grateful for all the work Janice does in the lab!
