Electrophysiological Correlates of Social Feedback (ECOSf)
We are excited to invite you to participate in the Electrophysiological Correlates of Social Feedback (ECOSf) study which will help us learn more social motivation in children and teens. Results from this study will improve our understanding of how children and teens process social information during interactions with peers. Ultimately, findings from this study may help in the development of interventions for youth who have difficulty with social interactions. This study consists of two visits and participants will be compensated between $40 - $70 after completing the study.

Investigating Social Patterns in Youth (I-SPY)
We are conducting a research study to learn more about the role that different factors play in kids’ and teens’ “real world” social functioning. This study consists of a few short visits to our lab, one of which includes a pizza party! This study will help us to better understand how effective social competence develops, and to create more effective and precise treatments for youth with ASD.
We are recruiting children ages 11-17 with and without ASD! Check out one of the flyers below for more information about how to get involved!
