Welcome to the Kim Attention and Neurodevelopment (AND) Lab!
We study how people perceive and attend to the world around them—and how these processes vary across individuals and neurodevelopmental conditions like autism spectrum disorder.
Our research aims to understand how behavioral differences emerge and evolve from childhood through adulthood. To explore these questions, we use a combination of behavioral assessments, eye-tracking, and brain imaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI).
