In this study, we examine how puberty influences the way the brain and body respond to rewards and stress using immersive virtual reality and wearable technology. Participants will take part in interactive tasks while researchers measure physiological and brain-related responses.

By participating to this innovate neuroscience study, your child will help advance important research aimed at improving our understanding of stress, development, and youth mental health—knowledge that can contribute to better prevention and support strategies in the future.

We truly appreciate your interest in helping move science forward while giving your child a unique, hands-on research experience.
