Laurina presented in a talk session at the International Society for Autism Research (INSAR) conference( 5.5.23 Stockholm, Sweden) and a poster at the Vision Science Society (VSS) conference (21.5.23 Saint Pete, USA) her Ph.D. project. In this project, Laurina shows that when making perceptual decisions on low-level stimuli, individuals diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Disorder integrate prior, likelihood, and reward information in the same suboptimal manner as individuals typically developed.

Congratulation to Bahiya, her manuscript “The role of spatial attention in crowding and feature binding” has been published in Journal of Vision.
Bahiya first paper from her M.A. thesis is now accepted to journal of vision!

Laurina presented her study on decision-making in autism in VSS 2022, St Pet, Florida.
Congratulation to Laurina on her first VSS presentation! Laurina presented her recent finding on decision making in ASD, showing that contrary to some dominant views, individuals on the spectrum utilize perceptual prior similarly to typically developed individuals.
