PROJECTS
Influence of multiple concussions on brain healthWe are examining the potential impact of multiple concussions on brain structure and functioning using advanced neuroimaging (i.e., structural and functional MRI, DTI, SWI, ALS). We are pursuing this research in young athletes, professional athletes, and healthy older adults.

Impact of pre-morbid factors on concussion incidence and recovery
We are examining how pre-existing conditions, such as ADHD, learning difficulties, mental health diagnoses, migraine history, and prior concussions, influence the incidence, clinical presentation, and recovery trajectory of high school athletes.

Concussion and the female athleteWe are examining the (i.) potential negative health effects of sub-concussive impacts; and (ii.) physiological, neurological, cognitive, and psychological correlates of concussion injury and recovery in female varsity athletes.

Examining expertise in the brainWe are examining (i.) how expertise is represented in the brain; (ii.) what factors are associated with developing expertise, and (iii.) how we can use use this foundational information to help people achieve their goals.
