Additional information
This paper describes the identification of differences in brain responses to social and non social stimuli of infants at high and low risk of autism. This means that optical topography might help to provide an early diagnosis of autism and predict the future development of autism symptoms in infants as young as four months of age. Tom Insel, the Director of NIH/NIMH, quotes this paper as one of the best examples of potential biomarkers in the whole autism literature. I am the lead physicist on this paper, contributing to the study design, data acquisition and analysis protocols.
