​ Hello and welcome to the UMass Boston Baby Lab!

Here at the UMass Boston Baby Lab we are interested in learning about the thoughts babies have and how they learn about the world around them.  More specifically, we study language learning, short-term memory, and visual and auditory development.  

In most of our studies, your child sits on your lap and watches a short video while we track his/her eyes.  A few of our studies require your baby to wear a special soft cap, which shines low-level light on your baby's head and measures small changes in how the brain is responding to the videos.  Visits typically last about 30-60 minutes. We offer $20, free parking, and a small thank-you gift. 

We are currently recruiting infants and toddlers between the ages of 6-48 months and 6-7 years for a 1 hour study.  
If you would like to participate, you can sign up online at http://babylab.youcanbook.me/.

You may also call us at 617-287-6363 for more information.  

We are easily accessible from I-93 and have free parking available on the UMass Boston campus. We are also on the Red Line (JFK/UMass station).
