At the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience (University College London), we have an ongoing programme of research with many different projects investigating how different brain functions develop from childhood to adulthood. This research is led by Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore. 

This work helps us to understand better how the brain matures and how different cognitive functions develop at different ages. Most of the projects involve paper and pencil or computer tasks, games and stories, and we also run brain-imaging studies. Most projects take place at University College London, in central London, although we sometimes visit people at their homes or schools.
