Our Mission

We aim to understand the neural and visual mechanisms that underlie social perception in autism

Autism is a neurodevelopmental condition characterized by differences in social communication and interaction. We seek to understand how different neural and behavioral mechanisms contribute to the wide diversity of behavioral features commonly seen in autism. Ultimately, our research aims to drive translational and therapeutic applications to improve the lives of autistic individuals.
