Boston University game measures visual perception deficits in autistic adolescents
dongascience.com
A video game called GEODE developed by Boston University researchers measures visual perception in autistic adolescents and found that their slower learning and lower accuracy in the game are due to higher internal neural noise, not sensory or motor deficits. The study links this noise to instability in information integration, which affects perceptual processing. The findings suggest that cognitive challenges in ASD may be better understood as specific computational deficits rather than general impairments.
