Happy to share my latest work on dynamic functional connectivity changes during social vs. non-social touch in autism. This study reveals atypical context-dependent modulation of connectivity associated with autism during touch observation. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Big shout out to @manuel__mello who received an ANT Neuro Award at the Seeing and Action Workshop @UnivdeCoimbra for his work on the development of neural mechanisms for social perception in infants using fNIRS. Way to go Manuel!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @ISC_MJ @BabyLyon11 @CNRS @cogbooster_uc
Please help us understand how autistic adults experience touch. We urgently need more male participants (both autistic and nonautistic). Please find the link below. run.pavlovia.org/haemy.leemasso…
