Journal ArticleDOI
Slower Binocular Rivalry in the Autistic Brain.
TL;DR: This work provides direct neural evidence for slower rivalry in autism compared with controls, and is able to predict autism symptom severity (ADOS) and correctly classify individuals' diagnostic status (autistic versus control; 87% accuracy).
Journal ArticleDOI
GABAergic Inhibition Gates Perceptual Awareness During Binocular Rivalry
TL;DR: It is found that drugs that modulate the two dominant GABA receptor types in the brain, GABAA (clobazam) and GABAB (arbaclofen), increase perceptual suppression during rivalry relative to a placebo, the first causal link between GABAergic inhibition and binocular rivalry in humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: A course to introduce medical students to the current landscape of mass incarceration in the US and implications for health and health care delivery to people impacted by this system is developed.

A causal study of bumetanide on a marker of excitatory-inhibitory balance in the human brain
TL;DR: It is shown that, contrary to expectation, acute administration of bumetanide does not alter binocular rivalry dynamics in neurotypical adult individuals, and this results raise important questions about the efficacy of acute bumeteanide administration for altering E/I balance in the human brain.
