During my MSc project, I used EEG to explore the electro-cortical correlates of multisensory integration in autism spectrum disorder. You can find my MSc thesis here<\/a>. In my PhD, I investigated neural mechanisms of automatic imitation using fMRI. In my current postdoc, I am exploring the cognitive and neural mechanisms of aesthetic appreciation of visual art (paintings and dance). Past and current research projects are as follows:<\/p>\n

Abnormalities in sensory processing have been reported in individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) in all sensory modalities. Along with unimodal deficits, there is mounting evidence for a deficit in assimilating information across modalities, or multi-sensory integration (MSI), especially in affect perception. This project investigated the validity of an affective multisensory integration paradigm using dynamic stimuli of facial expressions for use in populations on the autism spectrum. <\/span><\/p>\n
