Project Title Project Title	Developing Neural Markers to Evaluate Social Skills Training in ASD
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Dubois, Julien
Description Description	Julien Christian Roger Dubois, Ph.D., at California Institute of Technology will seek out neural markers for ASD, specifically markers for the altered social functioning. Using extensive fMRI analysis, Dr. Dubois will image subjects with and without ASD before and after they undergo a 14-16 week-long social skills training program. Dr. Dubois hopes measurements from this study can be used to better diagnose and predict treatment outcomes in ASD.
