DESCRIPTION:Autistic visual experience is often described as "seeing the t
 rees\, but not the forest".  The roots of this perceptual style are unknow
 n\, and previous studies suggest that it cannot be attributed to differenc
 es in low-level vision (e.g. acuity\, contrast sensitivity).  We aim to ch
 aracterize the neurobiology of autistic visual perception by mapping: 1) h
 ow the autistic brain integrates elemental visual input into a global repr
 esentation over time (coherent motion perception paradigm)\, 2) the distri
 bution of attention in space and time in autism (attentional psychophysics
  paradigm)\, 3) the neural circuitry supporting the suppression/awareness 
 of visual input in autism (binocular rivalry paradigm).
