Jeremy I. Borjon is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology at the University of Houston, affiliated with the College of Liberal Arts and Social Sciences. He leads the Developing Systems Laboratory, focusing on infant cognitive, sensorimotor, and autonomic development. His research is supported by an NICHD R00 award and integrates multimodal technologies such as eye-tracking, motion capture, and wireless physiological sensors.
Education:
- A.B. in Psychology and Neuroscience, Princeton University
- Ph.D. in Psychology and Neuroscience, Princeton University
Dr. Borjon's research centers on how infants coordinate internal states with emerging cognitive and motor systems during the first two years of life. He investigates how visual, motor, and autonomic processes interact in real time, particularly during naturalistic caregiver interactions. His work emphasizes ecological validity by studying infants in dynamic, real-world contexts. He is particularly interested in sustained attention, language development, and how caregiver behaviors shape infant cognition.
His recent publications reflect a strong trend in using dense, naturalistic behavioral sampling to understand developmental processes. The articles highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining developmental psychology, neuroscience, and engineering to study real-time cognitive and physiological dynamics in infants. Topics include physiological synchrony, attention regulation, and sensorimotor integration.

Dr. Borjon has been actively involved in mentoring and is currently reviewing graduate applications for the Developmental, Cognitive, & Behavioral Neuroscience Program. His research is supported by federal grants, indicating active funding and research productivity. He previously held postdoctoral fellowships at Indiana University and positions at Yale and Emory.
He directs the Developing Systems Laboratory, which employs cutting-edge technology to study infant behavior in naturalistic settings. The lab integrates head-mounted eye-tracking, wireless cardiorespiratory sensors, motion capture, and audiovisual recording to examine how cognitive achievements emerge within the context of a developing body and social environment.
