Dr. Knight’s research involves the application of neuroscientific approaches to consider the questions raised by individuals and families affected by autism spectrum disorder. The primary aim of Dr. Knight’s research program is to advance understanding of the neurophysiologic mechanisms underlying sensory perception in autism spectrum disorder, in order to support the development of evidence-based diagnostic and intervention strategies. This work involves the use of a variety of techniques including electrophysiology, neuroimaging, and other related techniques and emerging technologies to study development of sensory neural networks in neurotypical individuals and those on the autism spectrum.
