SFARI hosts workshop on newborn screening
On September 27, 2021, SFARI convened a one-day virtual workshop to explore and discuss opportunities and risks for early detection of neurodevelopmental disorders through genomic sequencing.
Investigating mechanisms underlying perceptual integration in autism
Atypical perceptual integration, in which sensory information is combined over time, is widely observed in individuals with ASD. In this project, Benjamin Scott aims to use online computer games to measure meaningful differences in perceptual integration across a range of children and adolescents with and without ASD. This approach will enable rigorous, quantitative assessment of perception across the population and will provide important insights into cognitive mechanisms that underly ASD.
