Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) – Speech, Voice, and Communication Study
Investigating how brain and behavioral differences influence speech, voice, and communication in children with and without autism, using MRI and MEG to identify the neural systems involved.
* Children ages 8–16 who do not have autism and those who do have autism along with speech and/or spoken communication difficulties
16p11.2 Deletion Syndrome – Speech, Voice, and Communication Study
Investigating how brain and behavioral differences influence speech, voice, and communication in children with 16p11.2 deletion syndrome, using MRI and MEG to identify the neural systems involved.
* Ages 8–16 with 16p11.2 deletion syndrome
Affect Production Task (APT)
Developing an objective, machine-learning-based tool to measure how effectively people express emotions through facial and vocal cues, advancing assessment of social communication in autism and related conditions.
SOMA Study: Mapping Sensory Processing with Ultrasound
Using low-intensity focused ultrasound (LIFU) to modulate brain regions involved in touch and hearing and test how this affects sensory processing, in collaboration with the TN2 Lab.
* Healthy adults
