Now out in PNAS! I love this discovery by the fantastic @sophiewohltjen. Eye contact has a robust and precise relationship with synchrony between people during conversation. A short thread on what we found: (1/9) pnas.org/content/118/37/e210…

Our work on exploration in children with and without ASD is out today! We found no differences in the way that children in both groups attend to and act on toys when they're playing with a parent! @DanKennedyIU @Chen_Yu_CY nature.com/articles/s41598-0…

New by @kmdebrabander and our lab: Autistic adults don’t differ from non-autistic adults in the accuracy of their self-assessment on general cognitive tasks but are less accurate on social cognitive tasks. This however was unrelated to social functioning link.springer.com/article/10…

Beyond excited to share our latest work, co 1st authored with @tervoclemmensb. Using #ABCDStudy data, we show that the effect sizes of brain-wide associations and sampling variability are a key element of replication failures in typical sample sizes. 1/x biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
