The BioGENE Study:
​GRIN2B Participants page

In 2019, the GRIN2B Foundation awarded Dr. Caitlin Hudac a research grant. We have been using this funding to support data collection of EEG biomarkers for GRIN2B. We recently collected data on a Fall 2021 "research roadtrip" with over 25 families! Other upcoming opportunities listed below.

What to expect during a BioGENE research visit:

• We will review consent forms and let you ask questions. We will help the participant get comfortable in the room.
• We will measure the participant's head and soak an EEG net for ~5-10 minutes. It only takes a few seconds to put on the net and make a few adjustments. Starting in August 2022, we will also be recording heart rate by placing stickers on the participant's chest. 
• The participant will be able to watch our videos or can watch their own tablet or movies on mute. We will play different sounds and videos for ~20-30 minutes. 
• We will give parents/caregivers a packet of surveys or questionnaires to complete. These can also be filled out before or after the session.
