Simply making data publicly available isn’t enough. We need to make it easy — that requires community buy-in.
I helped create a standard to make it easy to upload, analyze and compare functional MRI data. An ecosystem of tools has since grown up around it, boosting reproducibility and speeding up research.

Making neuroimaging accessible for more autistic children
A new protocol aims to help researchers include more autistic people — especially those who are minimally verbal or have intellectual disability — in imaging studies.

Brains of minimally verbal autistic children respond slowly to sound
Several of the brain’s responses to sound are sluggish in autistic children who speak few or no words, compared with those who are verbal.

In quest for autism biomarkers, this technique has magnetic appeal
To find biological markers of autism, scientists would be wise to measure the brain's electrical activity along with the resulting magnetic fields.

Autistic children may have to mute own perspective to grasp others’
To understand another person's point of view, children with autism may need to actively suppress their own.
