028: Cognitive Neuroscience, Brain Scans and ADHD with Monica Rosenberg

Monica Rosenberg is a graduate student in the Department of Psychology at Yale University.  Monica discusses how applying cognitive neuroscience research can help identify and treat disorders like ADHD.  She expands on how ability to sustain attention varies widely across individuals and researchers lack a standardized way to measure it. Monica dives deeper into her groups recent work introducing a new fMRI measure of sustained attention based on patterns of functional connectivity, or correlated activity across the brain.
