Spectrum Brain Lab
Welcome to the Spectrum Brain Lab
Individuals on the autism spectrum differ from neurotypical individuals in aspects of their sensory perception, social communication, attention, and other cognitive processes. The scientific objective of the Spectrum Brain Lab is to advance understanding of the neural mechanisms underlying these various processes in order to facilitate the development of mechanism-informed supports and interventions. Our group uses electrophysiology, neuroimaging, and neuropsychological testing to explore of mechanisms of sensory perception and cognition in autism.
