Cerebellar dysfunction in autism

Study on Eye Movements and Information Processing in Autism

Recruiting
18-22 years
All
Phase N/A
  • Simplified description (AI rewritten)
  • Technical description (Original)

This study investigates how eye movements relate to information processing in individuals with autism spectrum disorders and those without the condition. Autism spectrum disorders are a range of developmental disorders that affect communication and behavior. Understanding these eye movements can provide insight into how people with autism process information differently.

Participants will undergo interviews and paper-based tests for about 2 to 2.5 hours on the first day. On the second day, participants will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan while performing an eye blink test and while resting quietly. MRI is a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in the body.

  • Who can participate: Individuals who either have autism spectrum disorders or do not (healthy controls) are eligible to participate.
  • Study details: Participants will take part in interviews, paper and pencil tests, and an MRI brain scan.
