Research Interests
My current research interests focus on the development of sensory reweighting systems involved in postural correction among neurodivergent children. I aim to understand the role of atypical sensory reweighting on cognitive, behavioural and neural development, with the goal of identifying physiological biomarkers consistent across autism spectrum disorder. In addition, I have contributed to eye-tracking studies examining the development of sustained attention throughout childhood.
Keywords: sensory reweighting, postural correction, autism, biomarkers, eye-tracking, neurodivergent children
