Graduate student Meagan Beckerson presented her project “The Role of Memory in Reading Intervention Success for Autistic Children” at the UAB College of Arts & Sciences Graduate Research Day event. Congrats on a great presentation!
We are very proud of our undergraduate researcher Joseph Kannala and his poster presentation at the Thompson Center Autism Conference! Joseph is an undergraduate researcher from St. Louis University who collaborated with the CBrA lab over the summer on a novel research project. He used data from our lab’s MISLEAD study to assess how higher cognitive functions impact deception detection in neurodiverse young adults. Congrats Joseph!
Congratulations to Caroline Vanderburgh for her amazing poster presentation at the National Council for Undergraduate Research (NCUR) 2024 meeting! Caroline’s poster examined thalamo-cortical functional connectivity in autism.
The CBrA Lab was thrilled to have our program coordinator, Paula Argueta, present a poster at the Meeting on Language in Autism (MoLA) 2024 conference! Paula worked with co-coordinator Lucas Martin and postdoctoral researcher Elizabeth Valles-Capetillo on the poster titled “The cognitive and neural correlates of reading comprehension in autistic and neurotypical children”. The poster used data from our lab’s BrainREAD study and looked at the relationship between various cognitive abilities, brain areas, and reading performance.
