As a research neuropsychologist with background in statistical analysis and design methodologies, Dr. McAnulty’s primary research focus has been the development and evaluation of two innovative approaches to clinical diagnosis of neurological diseases and neurobehavioral disorders: quantified EEG (qEEG) and the Assessment of Preterm Infants’ Behavior (APIB).
Her research interests also include the intersection of neurocognitive function, qEEG and advanced MR imaging technology in disorders including brain tumor, schizophrenia, Alzheimer’s disease, depression, dyslexia and autism as well as healthy aging.
As a licensed neuropsychologist with clinical expertise in infancy, prematurity and high-risk birth, her second focus has been in the development, evaluation and dissemination of a field changing approach to NICU care delivery, Newborn Individualized Care and Assessment Program (NIDCAP).
She serves as site Principal Investigator of a multi-disciplinary NIH/NIMH research project whose goal is to develop clinically feasible time efficient methods for the fast acquisition of diffusion magnetic resonance imaging of pediatric patients and apply it to study the neuropathology in attention-deficit hyperactivity-disorder.
