Work with thought leaders and academic experts in developmental neuroscience

Companies can benefit from working with Developmental Neuroscience experts in several ways. These experts can provide valuable insights into human development, helping companies understand their target audience better. They can also contribute to research and development, enhancing the quality of products and services. Developmental Neuroscience experts can assist in designing interventions and programs for child development, improving educational and healthcare outcomes. Additionally, they can help companies navigate ethical considerations related to human subjects research. Collaborating with Developmental Neuroscience experts can give companies a competitive edge by incorporating scientific knowledge into their strategies and decision-making processes.

About
Initially trained as a Cognitive Psychologist with expertise on conscious versus unconscious influences on performance, Steve has more recently become a strong proponent of preventative mental health efforts. During the pandemic Steve created a free online course at Coursera.org entitled Understanding and Managing the Anxiety of COVID 19, a course that has over 180,000 registered students. That lead him to then created more specialized courses, one supporting Police Officers and another supporting Health Care Workers, providing each with a better understanding of the stressors associated with their chosen work, and giving them tips and strategies for managing their mental health. Since then Steve has become a common media commentator around preventative mental health, and has begun supporting both not for profits (The GenWell Initiative) and commercial entities (OOt Social) to bring mental health support to corporations, students, and the general public.

About
My core interests lie in understanding how children and adolescents perceive and interpret social signals and how emerging functional specificity of the developing brain supports this process. My approach primarily involves using the face processing system as a model domain. Faces are dynamic stimuli from which we extract many different kinds of information (e.g., gender, age, emotional state, mate potential, social status, trustworthiness, intentions, “person knowledge”). All of these processes must be executed accurately and rapidly for many faces over the course of a single day, making face processing among the most taxing perceptual challenges confronted by people in their day-to-day life. Given that faces are also the pre-eminent social signal, studying developmental changes in the behavioral and brain basis of face processing in typically developing individuals and in those affected by social-emotional disorders may index a core set of developmental changes within the broader social information processing system. I employ converging methodologies, including functional (fMRI) and structural magnetic resonance, and diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) along with detailed behavioral paradigms in both typically developing populations and those with developmental disorders to examine development from early childhood to adulthood.

About
I am a Professor of Spanish in the Department of Spanish, Italian and Portuguese with an affiliate appointment in the Department of Psychology. I completed my doctoral studies in the interdisciplinary program in Second Language Acquisition and Teaching at the University of Arizona, with a specialization in linguistic analysis and a minor concentration in second language processing. I then held a faculty position at the University of Illinois for four years (1996-2000), where I was a primary collaborator in pioneering a computer-enhanced Spanish language instruction curriculum consisting of mixed classroom and computer-assisted instruction. Prior to assuming my current position at Penn State, I was a Visiting Assistant Professor at the University of Mississippi (2000-2001), where I was hired to implement the model for the Spanish language curriculum developed at Illinois.

Example developmental neuroscience projects

How can companies collaborate more effectively with researchers, experts, and thought leaders to make progress on developmental neuroscience?

Designing educational interventions

A company in the education sector can collaborate with a Developmental Neuroscience expert to design evidence-based interventions that enhance learning outcomes. By understanding the cognitive and socio-emotional development of children, the expert can provide insights into effective teaching methods, curriculum design, and educational technologies.

Improving healthcare outcomes

Healthcare companies can benefit from the expertise of Developmental Neuroscience researchers in improving healthcare outcomes for children. These experts can contribute to the development of early detection tools, interventions for developmental disorders, and personalized treatment plans based on individual differences in brain development.

Enhancing product design

Companies in the technology and consumer goods industries can collaborate with Developmental Neuroscience experts to enhance product design. By understanding the cognitive and sensory development of users, these experts can provide valuable insights into user experience, ergonomics, and product safety.

Understanding consumer behavior

Developmental Neuroscience experts can help companies gain a deeper understanding of consumer behavior. By studying the neural mechanisms underlying decision-making, emotions, and social cognition, these experts can provide insights into consumer preferences, motivations, and purchasing behavior.

Addressing ethical considerations

Companies involved in research or product development that involves human subjects can collaborate with Developmental Neuroscience experts to navigate ethical considerations. These experts can provide guidance on informed consent, privacy protection, and ensuring the well-being of participants, ensuring compliance with ethical standards.
