Research Focus
Dr. Michelle Hampson's lab at Yale University focuses on innovative treatments for adolescents with Tourette Syndrome using neurofeedback techniques. Their current research is a clinical trial that helps participants learn to control specific areas of their brain to reduce tic severity through targeted mental strategies. The lab aims to confirm the effectiveness of this intervention and analyze its impact on brain connectivity and behavior.
