Description
In this Video Abstract Dr. Nico Bast discusses his paper 'Saccade dysmetria indicates attenuated visual exploration in autism spectrum disorder'. Visual exploration in autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is characterized by attenuated social attention. The underlying oculomotor function during visual exploration is understudied, whereas oculomotor function during restricted viewing suggested saccade dysmetria in ASD by altered pontocerebellar motor modulation.
Learning Objectives
1. Investigation ASD-specific oculomotor function during visual exploration of naturalistic videos. This design delivers increased ecological validity compared to restricted-viewing paradigms.
2. Overview of the paper and its findings
