White Matter Microstructure and Atypical Visual Orienting in 7-Month-Olds at Risk for Autism

TLDR
Visual orienting latencies were longer in 7-month-old infants who expressed ASD symptoms at 25 months compared with both high-risk negative infants and low-risk infants, and abnormal functional specialization of posterior cortical circuits directly informs a novel model of ASD pathogenesis.
Abstract
Specific differences in visual orienting, critical in social-cognitive development, are associated with differences in white matter microstructure of the splenium.

Eye Tracking Reveals Impaired Attentional Disengagement Associated with Sensory Response Patterns in Children with Autism

TL;DR: Investigation of the impact of distractor salience and temporal overlap on the ability to disengage and orient attention in children with ASD, DD and TD revealed impaired disengagement and orienting accuracy in ASD.

Eye-tracking-based assessment of cognitive function in low-resource settings.

TL;DR: High test completion rates and the replication of the predicted test patterns in a novel environment in Malawi support the feasibility of eye tracking as a technique for assessing infant development in low-resource setting.

White matter correlates of sensory processing in autism spectrum disorders.

TL;DR: Increased tactile defensiveness was found to be related to reduced fractional anisotropy in the inferior longitudinal fasciculus, which may reflect an aberrant connection between limbic structures in the temporal lobe and the inferior parietal cortex.

Gaze performance during face-to-face communication: A live eye tracking study of typical children and children with autism

TL;DR: In this paper, non-invasive eye-tracking technology was used to quantify the amount of time spent looking at another person's face during face-to-face communication in children with ASD (n = 13, age 6 years) and age and IQ-matched neurotypical children (n= 27, 6 years).

Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised: a revised version of a diagnostic interview for caregivers of individuals with possible pervasive developmental disorders

TL;DR: The revised interview has been reorganized, shortened, modified to be appropriate for children with mental ages from about 18 months into adulthood and linked to ICD-10 and DSM-IV criteria.

Neural Mechanisms of Selective Visual Attention

TL;DR: The two basic phenomena that define the problem of visual attention can be illustrated in a simple example and selectivity-the ability to filter out un­ wanted information is illustrated.

The Attention System of the Human Brain

TL;DR: Illustration de trois fonctions principales qui sont predominantes dans l'etude de l'intervention de l'sattention dans les processus cognitifs: 1) orientation vers des evenements sensoriels; 2) detection des signaux par processus focal; 3) maintenir la vigilance en etat d'alerte

Nonrigid registration using free-form deformations: application to breast MR images

TL;DR: The results clearly indicate that the proposed nonrigid registration algorithm is much better able to recover the motion and deformation of the breast than rigid or affine registration algorithms.
