About

The study will use a non-invasive remote eye-tracking system (Eyelink Portable Duo) to acquire a short series of eye-tracking measures.

Full description

The study will use a non-invasive remote eye-tracking system (Eyelink Portable Duo) to acquire a short series (less than 15 mins) of eye-tracking measures (e.g., looking time, pupil diameter, oculomotor dynamics), which may be associated with autism in young children ages 12-48 months. We will recruit children from Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health clinics to determine whether these measures may help determine autism risk.
