Dr. Griffin, director of the Griffin Laboratory, received a prestigious international award from the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) and the Alan B. Slifka Foundation in recognition of his innovative vision for autism research. The award, which includes $25,000 in research funding, will support the Griffin Laboratory's goal of capturing naturalistic neural responses to faces in autistic children. Dr. Griffin was presented the award at INSAR’s 2025 Annual Meeting in Seattle, Washington.

Chris Jaison, research assistant, recieves a Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) to investigate how autistic traits influence the neural processing of eye gaze.

Dr. Griffin recieves funding from the Division of Research at University of Houston to utlize novel ambulatory EEG technology to evaluate the ecological validity of neural markers of face processing in autism.
