What We Do

We are currently conducting multiple research studies in each of the areas mentioned on this website. 


For a short description of the diverse projects, please visit the links below:

In the RazLab, we also run studies for the benefit of clinical population.  Our clinical studies explore the neural basis of basic psychiatric disorders that arise during childhood and include Tourette Syndrome, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Autism, Depression and Bulimia Nervosa (in collaboration with the Eating Disorders Research Group at the Douglas Hospital).


Participation


Would you Like to Participate in a Research Study?

Most studies are open to everyone, but a few studies, especially with clinical populations, require participants to meet specific criteria.

Experiments involving consciousness, volitional control, expectation, placebos and attention are typically open to everyone. If you are interested in hearing more about our various projects or if you feel that you meet the criteria and would like to participate in a clinical study, please contact Natasha Campbell.

Individuals wishing to partake in studies involving imaging of the human brain must have no sizable tattoos, and no form of metal in the body, including braces, a pacemaker or any surgical items. Female candidates must not be pregnant.
All participants (children and adults) in clinical studies must meet criteria for one of the disorders that we study, or they must have no history of any psychiatric disorders at all.

Brain scans take about 1.5 hours in total and involve remaining still for a period of time and performing simple tasks while lying in the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) machine. MRI scanners use magnetic fields and radio waves to collect images of the human brain. Sometimes these renderings can show what parts of the brain are working when a participant performs certain tasks. The tasks may include pressing a button or playing a video game.
