Tessel Bazelmans

Postdoctoral Researcher Research Interests I am interested in understanding early neurotypical and neurodiverse development, with a focus on attention, sensory processing, and temperament. My approach combines behavioural observations with (neuro)physiological measures to gain a comprehensive understanding of these areas. I
