Study Background
State University of New York at Binghamton is conducting a study with infants whose sibling is diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder.
This research study aims to learn more about the development of brain responses and brain structure in infants who have an elevated likelihood of autism diagnosis.
This study involves up to 7 in-person visits that take place while the infant is between 6-12 months old. To learn more about social perception, infants will participate in various activities including behavioral observation, EEG, and MRI acquisitions.
