Dr. Krista Hyde is an Associate Professor in the Dept. of Psychology, University of Montreal and Adjunct Professor, Dept. of Psychiatry, Faculty of Medicine, McGill University. She is also a Faculty Member at the International Laboratory for Brain Music and Sound Research, Center for Research on Brain Language and Music and the 'Autism Research Training Program' (ART). Dr. Hyde's research focuses
on auditory brain, behavioral and cognitive development in
typically-developing children and adults, as well as in individuals with
autism spectrum
disorders.She also studies brain
plasticity as a function of specialized training such as music and
dance.In her laboratory, Dr. Hyde uses
a multi-disciplinary research approach combining MRI brain imaging techniques
of structure and function with behavioral methods. She is also interested in
correlating brain and behavioral measures with genetic profiles in
neurodevelopmental disorders.Dr. Hyde's
research has important implications in terms of fundamental science and
clinical applications to better understand brain and behavioral interactions in
typical and atypical development.
