I am interested in how children with and without autism perceive and make sense of the world around them, and the impact that this has on their day-to-day lives.
My current research aims to understand better how autistic children process sensory information, with a particular emphasis on the mechanisms underlying atypical perception. I am using a combination of psychophysics, electroencephalography (EEG) and computational modelling to achieve this aim. I hope that my research will lead to a better understanding of the sensory symptoms experienced by individuals with autism, which may eventually help to develop education and intervention programmes.
