There is a growing body of evidence that, typically, parents and children coordinate their affect, behavior, physiology, and even brain patterns during meaningful interactions. This coordination is often referred to synchrony - the matching of each other's rhythms in real-time. Yet, for families affected by mental health challenges such as a history of maternal depression, synchrony may be attenuated or may take on a different meaning.

We are currently preparing to launch a new study on biobehavioral synchrony. Please check back for more information soon!
