Research Focus
Dr. Noa Ofen's research lab at the University of Texas Dallas studies how children develop memory skills and the brain processes involved. They use advanced techniques like intracranial EEG and fMRI to understand how memory retrieval works in children, especially those with epilepsy. By delving into the brain’s memory networks, the lab aims to create effective interventions for memory problems in children, potentially improving their quality of life.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
