Targeted Cognitive Training: Assessment and Plasticity in ASD | Diana Parvinchi

Changing the autism brain via gaming at Researcher Lightning Rounds following TEDxYorkUSalon AutismInnovations on April 22 2017. Current research shows the abilities that we used to think of as “fixed” and “stable” are open to change. We have developed fun “video game” like tasks that will get the appropriate regions of the brain talking to complete a task. This training will strengthen the brain networks that are important for a social world. This talk explains how and what is being done to change the autism brain using this approach. Dr. Parvinchi is a post-doctoral research fellow at McMaster University. She has led various research projects in cognitive neuroscience at SickKids hospital and McMaster university in the past several years. She leads a line of research that aims to understand the plastic nature of the brain and the application of this knowledge for intervention/treatment purposes.
