Dr Sam Wass University positionResearch Associate DepartmentsHome pagehttps://www.sites.google.com/site/sa... (personal home page) Research ThemesInterestsAt Cambridge I am a member of the baby-LINC lab (http://www.baby-linc.psychol.cam.ac.uk), working with Dr Vicky Leong to investigate the neural correlates of infant attention and learning in naturalistic contexts using dual parent-child EEG and ECG. I am also a Lecturer at the University of East London, where I research stress and attention during early infancy, particularly in infants from low socio-economic status backgrounds. I am also involved with a number of projects looking at the effectiveness of attention training in infants, using computerised attention training paradigms that I designed. This includes projects in London, Finland, the US and Canada.
