Erin Panda is an Associate Professor in the Department of Child and Youth Studies at Brock University and co-director of Brock’s Developmental Neuroscience Lab. Her research focuses on educational neuroscience, particularly how brain development differs among individuals and how these differences impact learning and effective intervention strategies. She uses electrophysiological methods such as EEG to track developmental differences in children's brain responses during reading and listening tasks. Her projects include collaborations with community partners, such as Pathstone Mental Health, examining brain networks in young people experiencing attention difficulties and anxiety. She has also assessed evidence-based reading interventions with the Hamilton-Wentworth District School Board, aiming to enhance children's reading outcomes. Panda studies neurocognitive correlates of reading, language, and attention, contributing to understanding the mechanisms of typical and neurodiverse development. Her research ultimately seeks to inform targeted programming for children's educational success.
