Research Focus
Dr. Adam Thomas Eggebrecht's lab focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) using advanced technology. The lab is working on a new method that combines wearable brain imaging with a computerized assessment to study motor imitation in children. This work aims to understand how motor imitation can help distinguish ASD from other developmental disorders, ultimately enhancing diagnostic accuracy and supporting better clinical care.
