Project Title Project Title	Mechanisms of sensory processing in ASD
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	Park, Woon Ju
Description Description	Oversensitivity or undersensitivity to sensory input is a common symptom of autism spectrum disorders. These symptoms show a great deal of variability among people with an ASD diagnosis. Individuals with autism also sometimes show variations in how they organize different types of sensory information and put it all together to interpret the world around them. This study will investigate factors that influence processing of visual information in people with ASD and how that then affects interpretation of visual input. This will ultimately lead to a better understanding of sensory processing in people with autism and help augment strengths of those with ASD so they can better cope with impairments.
