The WAVES Emotion Laboratory at Florida Atlantic University We are recruiting babies from birth to 6 months!
Foundations of Personality: Baby BEAR Study
Join us for our baby BEAR study, where we are studying behavior, emotions, and regulation. The FAU WAVES Emotion Lab invites you and your infant to participate in a study aimed to investigate how babies' emerging personalities may be related to their brain activity. Participants will receive a gift card for every visit to our FAU laboratory ($50-$100),
