At the CBCD we are happy to invite you to take part in important research in our custom built labs. We regularly revise our safety measures and will do everything possible to make your visit enjoyable and safe. Watch our brand new video to peek inside our labs and learn more about what happens during a visit to the BabyLab & ToddlerLab! In addition to reimbursing your travel expenses, every baby and child who takes part in our research will receive a certificate and t-shirt, tote bag or toy!
We also have exciting online research that is always in need of participants, and can be done from the comfort of your own home, or anywhere in the world!
Without your support, our crucial research into infant and child brain and behavioural development could not take place. Thank you!!!

At the BabyLab we want to better understand how babies learn and develop, particularly during the first 2 years of life, but also throughout childhood.
We create fun studies that help us discover:
how babies recognise faces
how babies and children learn to pay attention to some things and not others
how they learn to understand what other people do and think
how their language and understanding of the world develops
how do tablets and smartphones impact development
We are also interested in understanding why and how some children develop conditions such as Autism and ADHD - please visit https://www.staars.org/ for more information and if you'd like to participate - REGISTER HERE.
