The video explores autism as a neurodevelopmental condition, focusing on sensory sensitivities and detail-oriented perception. It discusses how individuals with autism process visual information, emphasizing local over global attention. The Robertson Lab's research uses virtual reality, eye tracking, and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to study visual processing in autism. By comparing gaze maps with CNN models, researchers aim to understand atypical visual attention in autism, potentially improving diagnosis and creating a more sensory-friendly society.
