Research Interests
During my PhD work I studied the relationship between sleep and early neurocognitive development. The first study, was conducted at P&G in Frankfurt (Germany) and was a longitudinal study investigating habitual sleep (sleep over time). Infants were followed for half a year and their sleep was measured using actigraphs and sleep diaries. Their development was tracked using EEG, eye-tracking and developmental questionnaires. The results of this first study showed that a) a large range of sleep patterns in typically developing infants and b) little evidence for a strong association of sleep and parent-report and behavioural measures of development. However, sleep impacted brain measures of development.
My second study used a custom-made NIRS-EEG headgear to examine what happens in infants brain during sleep and how that relates to measures of development.
