Eilidh Joy Wright-Whyte

My name is Eilidh (pronounced aye-lee) and I have been an honourary member of the SMART Lab since Oct 2022. My research interests include looking into the effects of none verbal emotional audio stimuli (incorporating a range of sounds from cooing to screaming) on the amount of sleep experienced by a caregiver, and the subsequent effect on their emotional wellbeing and mental health. 

In the future I would like to investigate the brain areas involved that allow the “mombie” (mom-zombie) to function every day. Additionally, I am interested in the calming effect of white noise and different music genres on babies that won’t sleep.

Mostly, I will focus my time on being incredibly cute and winning over even the most sleep deprived big person.
