Abstract
Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) show evidence of deficits in integration of information across multiple senses. In this study, we will investigate audiovisual integration in infants that are at high risk of a later autism diagnosis. We will present participants with short dynamic video clips of faces and objects that have soundtracks that are either synchronous or asynchronous with the video. We will measure EEG to examine brain responses to different types of stimuli. This research will help us better understand how impairment in audiovisual integration develops in ASD.

Neural Correlates of Audiovisual Integration in Infants at Elevated Risk for Autism
