Research Facilities
One Park Ave Research Space
The Infant Brain & Behavior lab is a research group under the direction of Dr. Courtney Filippi. This lab group is housed in the Department of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry at the NYU Grossman School of Medicine. The mission of DCAP is to be the national and global leader in child mental health and development through transformative science and evidence-based clinical care, integrated with pediatric health care, forward-thinking education, and effective public health advocacy.
Our research space at One Park Ave (midtown Manhattan) consists of several family-friendly testing rooms that include an EEG scanner, an eye-tracking room, an MRI system room, and a large testing room with modular play mats, toddler tables and chairs, toys, and testing materials. Additional spaces include a kitchen, bathrooms, and lounge spaces that are helpful for entertaining accompanying siblings. All testing rooms are sound-attenuated spaces equipped with child-friendly furniture.
