Clíona Kelly

Dr. Kelly received her training at Aston University, U.K. in Psychology (BSc), Cognitive Neuroscience (MSc) and Neuroscience and Computer Science (PhD). Her doctoral research investigated social interaction, specifically joint attention, between real and virtual humans. To do this, she combined virtual reality head-mounted displays with electroencephalography (EEG).

Now working as a Postdoctoral Associate in the Before and After Baby Lab, she investigates the neural mechanisms of psychological risk on mother and infant adjustment in European- and African-American mothers.
