Kicking off day 2 of #AS4SAN2024 with an inspirational keynote from Adriana Galván on adolescent brain development. Her work has influenced policy, eg, no life without parole in young people.
Very proud of @nataliepeluso
Her presentation entitled “visual saliency and task relevance modulate oculomotor behaviour towards naturalistic faces” just won best platform presentation @AS4SANinc
Well done, Nat!
Our final #AS4SAN2024 keynote by @caro_charp! Fantastic work investigating mechanisms for social learning challenges in ASD, employing a computational psychiatry approach.
