How the brain enables individuals to adapt behavior to their partner is key to understanding social exchange. For example, courtship behavior involves sensorimotor processing of signals that can ...

In the search for a way to measure different forms of a condition called sensory processing disorder, neuroscientists are using imaging to see how young brains process sensory stimulation. Now, ...

Sensory processing disorder—also known as SPD or sensory integration disorder—is a term describing a collection of challenges that occur when the senses fail to respond properly to the outside world.

In the split second after you hear a noise, your brain is already making a potentially life-or-death deduction: Did I do that ...

Results of a recent study on sensory abilities in autistic children may have positive consequences to the way supports are provided to them, helping increase their quality of life. Western University ...

Sensory processing differences refer to atypical ways in which the brain receives, organizes, and responds to sensory inputs such as sound, touch, light, movement ...

In the split second after you hear a noise, your brain is already making a potentially life-or-death deduction: Did I do that, or did something else? Our nervous systems answer this question using ...

Limited evidence suggests that sensory integration therapy may have a positive effect on individuals with autism. Sensory integration therapy, also referred to as Ayres Sensory Integration (ASI), is a ...
