PhD Project:

'Embracing Complexity in the Characterisation and Tracking of Neurodevelopment (ECCaToN)'

This project aims to explore the cognitive and mental health profiles of individuals with a broad range of difficulties associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (e.g., ADHD, dyslexia or autism). The objective is to explore neurodevelopment from a broader perspective, via adopting a transdiagnostic dimensional approach to characterising the cognitive and affective processes underpinning the complexity of neurodevelopmental disorders in terms of individual variation, symptom overlaps and co-occurring conditions.
