In particular, we are interested in carefully measuring various aspects of mother-child and father-child relationships so as to determine how they can allow for better understanding of the development of sleep rhythms, executive functioning, brain structure, and socio-emotional adjustment in normative child populations.

For instance, my research focuses on examining the impact of background music on cognition and on developing musical activities to reduce stress. My research is supported by the SSHRC.
