Get to know Nicole Friedman!

​Hi everyone!

I'm Nicole and I am a first year graduate student in the B-RAD lab. Starting grad school during a pandemic has certainly had its challenges, but I am so excited to be here at UA and working in the B-RAD lab. 

I'm super excited about our current projects, and I am looking forward to the semester ahead! I'm currently really interested in social motivation and I am collaborating with colleagues here at the CYDI on a systematic review aiming to explore social motivation trans-diagnostically and disentangle it from other related constructs. In addition, we are working hard to collect a battery of EEG and eye-tracking tasks related to social motivation in adults.

We also have a new grant starting this semester focused on delineating cognitive processes involved in social attention. We are super excited for this project to get underway and look forward to seeing kids and families again. 

Keep an eye out for updates on the lab and our upcoming projects as we ramp up data collection this semester!
