BIO
Dr Tim Silk is a cognitive neuroscientist specializing in paediatric
neurodevelopmental imaging in order to understand the brain-behaviour
interface; when and where that goes awry. Specifically, he is focused on
identifying neuroimaging markers that can be used to distinguish children with
neurodevelopmental disorders, monitor progression, and predict likely outcome
or treatment response.
Dr Silk heads the Brain and Cognitive Development Lab, and currently leads The
Neuroimaging of the Children's Attention Project (NICAP) collecting
longitudinal multimodal neuroimaging data in order to understand how brain
structure and function change across late childhood to early adolescence for
children with and without ADHD, and how those changes reflect ADHD symptom
severity and functional outcomes.
