Current Projects
The UCD Neuropsychology Lab has a number of ongoing projects. Read below to find out what we are researching right now!
Tourette’s, Cognition, and Sleep
Lisa Keenan
This project, funded by the Irish Research Council, aims to build a more accurate picture of neuropsychological profiles in children with Tourette syndrome. We are particularly interested in how sleep and executive functioning difficulties might affect this population.
We are currently looking for children with Tourette syndrome aged between 8 and 12 to take part in this project - visit the Take Part page for further details!
See below for a GIF overview of this project.
