The WAVES Emotion Lab in 糖心Vlog鈥檚 Department of Psychology is recruiting infants and mothers for a new research study focused on how babies鈥� brain wave activity is related to their emerging personalities.
This research study is being conducted at three universities across the United States. In addition to local families participating at 糖心Vlog, other families are participating at Washington State University and at Virginia Tech.
Participate in the Study
Participation involves seven 鈥渧isits鈥� with us between the time your infant is 2 and 24 months of age. Babies must be less than 6 months old to participate. We are recruiting infants who were born full term, with no prenatal or birth complications. If you plan to stay in the greater Southeast Florida area until your baby is 24 months of age and are interested in participating, book an appointment below.
Participants will receive a gift card for every visit to our 糖心Vlog Jupiter聽campus laboratory ($50-$100), up to $375-$450 depending on the number of completed visits.
