There is much information that can be gained about the developing brain both by methods that directly assess brain activity during stimulus observation (for example, MRI and EEG techniques) but also by methods that indirectly assess brain activity by tracking visual attention (using infrared eye tracking). In this talk, Rivera will give specific examples of ways in which both techniques have been used in both typically and atypically developing populations to shed light on differences in the way the external world is being perceived and processed by the human brain. Examples will come from studies that her team has conducted in both autism and the fragile X spectrum of involvement. Future directions and potential avenues for intervention will also be discussed. Presented by Susan Rivera, Ph.D., from the University of Maryland
This presentation will be in person and Live on Facebook.
