The Osu Laboratory (Faculty of Human Sciences) and Okamoto Laboratory (Waseda Institutes of Advanced Study) at Waseda University have launched a research project on the autism spectrum disorders in 2020. We study characteristic sensory-motor function of autistic people by multiple approaches including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), motion analysis, and psychological studies. Our goal is to provide evidence how the sensory-motor function contribute to social-communicative function in autism spectrum disorders from a developmental perspective.
