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.
We record brain activity using electroencephalography, which is also known as EEG. EEG is a technology that is non-invasive and safe for children and adults.
We record eye movements with high-speed eye-trackers, which are sometimes worn on the head. They are safe, comfortable, and look super cool on kids!
We have participants complete computer-based activties while we record brain waves and eye movements.
