Funded Activity Summary

While there has been recent excitement about possible treatments for the symptoms of Autism, advances in understanding the underlying neuroscience of abnormal brain function that underlies autistic tendency are still painfully slow. This application aims to establish fully a physiological mechanism for altered autistic perception, to see if it can be applied to early diagnosis in infants and young children and to establish whether in such plastic young brains it is possible to guide perceptual learning to permanent improvement.
