The Preston Lab

We are a part of the Department of Psychology and the Center for Learning and Memory at the University of Texas at Austin. Our lab uses a combination of behavioral and brain imaging techniques (functional magnetic resonance imaging, or fMRI) to explore how we form new memories, how we remember past experiences, and how our memory for the past influences what we learn in the present. We are also in

terested in how changes in brain structure and function throughout childhood and adolescence relate to the development of memory and reasoning. We are always looking for healthy volunteers ages 6-35 to participate in our research studies. If you or your child are interested in coming in to our lab to do simple computer-based tasks OR letting us take pictures of your or your child's brain using an MRI, please fill out the secure form on our website to see if you are eligible. A researcher will contact you when studies you qualify for are open for enrollment.
