Emma Strainis, BS

I am a Research Specialist that largely works with high-density EEG in the pediatric population. I received my BS in neurobiology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, during which I also worked as a Research Assistant at the Wisconsin Institute for Sleep and Consciousness. After graduation, I pursued sleep research with a focus on prodromal forms of neurodegenerative alpha-synucleinopathies at Mayo Clinic within Dr. Erik St. Louis’s lab. Having returned to the Wisconsin Institute for Sleep and Consciousness, I am now predominantly interested in the developmental effects of trauma exposure and anxiety on sleep in children.  

Research Interests: sleep, mental health, development, EEG
