Brief description of study.

The purpose of this study is to better understand how eye movements are related to information processing in healthy people and people diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders.

Detailed description of study

Your participation will involve about 2 to 2.5 hours of interviews and paper and pencil tests on Day 1. Day 2 will involve a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan during an eye blink test as well as during several minutes in which you will be asked to simply rest quietly. You will be compensated for your participation.
This study takes place in Bloomington, IN.

Participants will be paid for their participation.

Eligibility of study

You may be eligible for this study if you meet the following criteria:

  • Conditions: Healthy,autism,Cerebellar dysfunction
  • Age: 18 years - 22 years
  • Gender: All

Inclusion Criteria
Either have autism or do not (health control)

This study investigates how eye movements relate to information processing in individuals with autism spectrum disorders and those without the condition. Autism spectrum disorders are a range of developmental disorders that affect communication and behavior. Understanding these eye movements can provide insight into how people with autism process information differently.

Participants will undergo interviews and paper-based tests for about 2 to 2.5 hours on the first day. On the second day, participants will have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain scan while performing an eye blink test and while resting quietly. MRI is a technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to create detailed images of the organs and tissues in the body.

  • Who can participate: Individuals who either have autism spectrum disorders or do not (healthy controls) are eligible to participate.
  • Study details: Participants will take part in interviews, paper and pencil tests, and an MRI brain scan.
