DESCRIPTION:The ability to evaluate sensory information\, build and update
  expectations is a critical part of daily functioning. When this goes awry
 \, it may lead to perceptual disturbances as seen in autism spectrum condi
 tions. In this talk\, I present behavioural and neural correlates of perce
 ption and learning in autistic adults through findings from experimental p
 sychology\, functional MRI\, and high-resolution 7Tesla Magnetic Resonance
  Spectroscopy (MRS). I discuss how these findings relate to classic cognit
 ive theories (such as Weak Central Coherence\, enhanced perceptual Functio
 n\, and hyper-systemizing) and more recent Bayesian explanations of autist
 ic perception.
