Using Electrodermal Activity as a Biomarker for Dysregulation in Autistic Children
This project aims to understand the “under-the-skin” processes that take place during emotional and behavioral dysregulation in autistic children. We are coding 180 videos of parent-child interaction to understand if what we see behaviorally is correlated with children’s parasympathetic nervous system responses via electrodermal activity.
Coming Soon: Risky Behavior and Mental Health in Neurodivergent Emerging Adults
This is a multi-site, online project that looks to understand the association between risky behaviors like substance use, binge drinking, and risky sexual behavior and mental health outcomes in neurodiverse emerging adults. We also want to know if certain social and cultural environmental characteristics modify these relationships.
