Social and Non-Social Stimuli in Children:

In this study, we are interested in the expectation toward social and non-social stimuli in young kids, both neurotypical and with Autism Spectrum Disorder. For this experiment, your child will take part in various cognitive and social assessments, as well as undergo an EEG to measure their brain waves in response to some videos.

Now recruiting both neurotypical children and children who have been diagnosed with autism, that are 3-4 years old.

How Do Babies Predict Sounds?: 

In this 20-minute study over Zoom, we’re interested in how the infant brain processes auditory and visual stimuli. Your child will watch animated videos of spheres that bounce around the screen while we record their looking time to track eye movement and fixation patterns toward visual stimuli.

Now recruiting infants that are 3-5 months old.

Adult Prediction Study:

In our current study, we are interested in observing the relationship between sound and sight in the brain. We are recruiting Autistic adults to find out more about how the brain reacts to audio-visual events, like a ball bounce. For the experiment, you will take part in various cognitive and social assessments, as well as undergo EEG to measure your brain waves in response to bounce sounds.

Let’s get the ball bouncing! To sign up for our study, use the following link provided for the interest form and fill out your information.

Causal Reasoning in Children: 

In this study, we are investigating how kids with and without Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) come to understand cause and effect relationships. We use novel toys and activities to help us learn about how children interpret and infer cause and effect and how this understanding relates and provides insight into their cognition in general. Your child will play a series of 5-6 games and will be asked a few questions about each one.

Now recruiting infants 3-5 years old that have been diagnosed with autism.
