Topics Covered

• The social brain
• Regional localization of areas involved in social perception
• What brain mechanisms support recognition of biological motion?
• Posterior STS region
• Does the posterior STS exhibit differences in activity that depend on the previous emotional context related to understanding other's preferences?
• Eye-gaze processing deficits in autism
• Can we normalize FFG activity in participants with autism by experimentally modifying visual scanpaths?
• Insights from the developing social brain
• Behavioral training for fMRI
• Does the STS respond selectively to biological motion in children with autism?
• The development of brain mechanisms for emotion regulation in children with and without autism
