Projects

Current research projects focus on addressing the following questions

  • Investigating neurophysiologic mechanisms of auditory processing disorder in autism.
  • Developing novel virtual reality paradigms to test audiovisual integration in autism, ADHD, and fetal alcohol syndrome using more naturalistic stimuli.

  • Assessing visual attention to simple and complex audiovisual stimuli.
  • Designing and evaluating the usage of a VR game in training attention.
  • Working with self-advocates to learn about sensory processing experiences.
