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.

Dr. Griffin's prize essay titled, "Eyes are windows to the brain: Capturing eye movements to better understand face processing in autism" for the NOMIS Foundation and Science Young Explorer Award was published in Science!

We are recruiting undergraduate research asssistants, graduate students, and more! Send inquiries to [email protected]

Dr. Griffin and collaborator Dr. McPartland (Yale University) publish article in Biological Psychiatry: Cognitive Neuroscience and Neuroimaging assessing spatiotemporal dynamics of eye movement patterns in a large sample of over 300 autistic children.

Dr. Griffin recieves pilot grant from the Autism Science Foundation to expand the utilty of biological markers of autism to more naturalistic settings.
