PARTICIPANTS NEEDED FOR AUTISM RESEARCH!

Location: University of Rochester's Frederick J. & Marion A. Schindler Cognitive Neurophysiology Laboratory

Reimbursement:
$18/ hour for the participant
$25 for parent/guardian of participant
MRI participants will also get a free picture of their brain!

Study Information:
We are recruiting children and adults with/without autism for a study to better understand visual and auditory perception.

Participation will include at least two visits (~3-4.5 hrs each).

The participant will be asked to look at objects on a screen or listen to sounds via headphones while we monitor brain activity with electroencephalogram (EEG) or brain imaging (MRI), and they will participate in psychological testing.

Participants should:
• Be between 6 and 30 years old.
• Have normal hearing
• Have normal (or corrected-to-normal) vision
• Have no history of major head injury
• Subjects with autism should have a formal clinical diagnosis

ALL LEVELS OF COGNITIVE AND VERBAL ABILITY ARE WELCOME!!

If you/your child are interested in participating, contact us at:

🧠 You can still register for the Circuits for Movement!

🔬 Featuring the latest experimental and computational approaches, this conference will highlight how cell types are organised into specific networks to contribute to motor function, and how motor and sensory information is integrated to produce adaptive behaviours.

Background Cystinosis, a rare lysosomal storage disease caused by mutations in the CTNS gene, is characterized by cystine crystallization and accumulation within multiple tissues, including kidney and brain. Its impact on neural function appears mild relative to its effects on other organs during ea...

Ventilation during COVID-19 in a school for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD).
in partnership with Mary Cariola Center

Background: This study examined the correlation of classroom ventilation (air exchanges per hour (ACH)) and exposure to CO2 ≥ 1,000 ppm with the incidence of SARS-CoV-2 over a 20-month period in a specialized school for students with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). These student...
