Research Questions
Sensory Processing in ASD
Many people with ASD report having sensory processing challenges. The goal of this project is to answer the following questions:
- Is the source of sensory processing challenges in ASD related to the manner in which the brain processes visual and auditory sensations?
- Or do sensory processing challenges result from interactions of attention and arousal with sensory processing?
This study will use surveys and event-related brain potential, heart-rate, and skin conductance measures to increase our understanding of sensory processing in ASD.
