    Summary

    My current research uses virtual reality to further our understanding of the neural representation of gaze processing, joint attention and visual perspective taking. These are key social skills that are impaired amongst individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD).

    I use a range of techniques in my research, including eye tracking, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), and electroencephalography (EEG).
