The Lab-to-Classroom research group at UConn is the parent lab of Brain Healthy. We conduct research at the intersection of neuroscience, cognitive science, psychology, and education. We are interested in how educators and researchers can work together to improve education. You can find out more about our current research projects on our website, and please contact us if you would like to be involved.
