Ido Davidesco is the director of the Lab-to-Classroom Research Group at md传媒国产剧 College. His work aims聽to bridge the gap between psychology, neuroscience, and education research. Through partnerships with K-12 teachers and school leaders, he hopes to make impactful connections between research in these fields and educational practice and policy. He conducts Electroencephalography (EEG) and eye-tracking research in the laboratory and in virtual reality and real-world classrooms to understand fluctuations in attention and engagement over time and their relation to learning.
He is specifically interested in how students' and teachers' brain activity and eye movements become 'in sync' with one another and how "brain-to-brain synchrony" relate to student engagement, social interactions, and learning. His research also focuses on developing neuroscience-inspired authentic research experiences to foster computational thinking and engineering design in K-12 students. For example, in his NIH-funded BrainWaves program, students learn about their brain by measuring their EEG brain activity with low-cost portable devices. He serves on the editorial boards of Mind, Brain, and Education and npj Science of Learning.
