Cognitive and Mobile Phenotyping Neurolab ("CAMP" lab)

Our work has three primary aims:

1) Better understand how our ability to control our thoughts and behavior influences developmental trajectories of cognitive and brain health over the adult lifespan.

2) Improve our ability to detect changes in cognitive and brain health associated with participation in health promoting behaviors, cognitive aging, the onset of disease, and recovery from illness/injury.

3) Support the evolution of precision medicine and disease prevention through innovations in deep phenotyping and mHealth.

We pursue these aims by combining multi-modal MR-based brain imaging methodology with emerging mobile technologies such as smart phone-based ecological momentary assessment (EMA), ambulatory cognitive assessment (AmbCog), and passive sensing (e.g. activity monitoring). Together these mobile tools provide a rich description of cognition, experience, and behavior that emerges across dynamic and daily contexts. We integrate mobile technology into research spanning multiple timescales (from days to decades) and aim to deliver new insights into how our everyday experiences and behavior inform our longer-term development.
