Developmental Cognitive Neuroscience of Adolescence (3) Adolescence is a unique, transitional period of development, often through to begin with the onset of puberty and end with the acquisition of adult social roles. Based on this conceptualization, the study of adolescence necessitates cross-disciplinary inquiry using multiple methodologies as change occurs across numerous domains (biological, psychological, social, etc.). In this course, students will evaluate theoretical and cutting-edge empirical research investigating the varied development changes of adolescence, principally from a developmental cognitive neuroscience perspective. Particular emphasis will be placed on understanding major non-invaseive neuroimaing techniques (e.g., functional magnetic resonance imaging) and the role these tools have played in our understanding of adolescent development and brain-behavior relationships.

A behavioral intervention may be aimed at any age and delivered in any context, may include medical components such as pharmaceuticals, and may be multi- level. The approaches covered in this course can be used to build a new behavioral intervention or improve an existing one, and can be applied not only to intervention content, but also to implementation fidelity and adherence.

New Methods for Analyzing Intensive Longitudinal Data (1) There has been a recent increase in the use of the Internet, smart phones, and wearable devices to collect many repeated assessments from participants of studies in behavioral and health research. In addition, many long-term panel studies have matured to the point of yielding many time points. Such data, referred to as intensive longitudinal data (ILD), can be summarized in order to apply standard methods for the analysis of longitudinal data. However, new methods for the analysis of ILD provide the opportunity to address questions about dynamic processes. We will briefly review the use of multilevel models to analyze ILD, and then introduce the time-varying effect models for estimating dynamic associations between variables. The class will include a conceptual introduction to new methods for analyzing ILD, mathematical details of the time-varying effect model for intesively assessed normal, binary, and count outcomes, and time for students to practice applying

In this course the fundamentals of coherency analysis will be presented, starting with a concise introduction in multivariate time series analysis in the time and frequency domain. Special emphasis will be given to alternative ways to estimate coherency matrices, including derived amplitude and phase spectra. The problem of volume conduction in EEG and ways to deal with that will be discussed.
