Neural variability in autism and beyond
Though we may not realize it, our brain function varies markedly from moment to moment such that even when presented with a simple repeating stimulus, our brain responses exhibit substantial variability across trials. Should we care about such within-subject variability? Are there developmental, cognitive, and clinical consequences to having a brain that is more or less variable/noisy? While neural variability seems to be beneficial for learning, excessive levels of neural variability appear in individuals with different clinical disorders. In the talk I will describe our findings from individuals with autism and ADHD, and describe preliminary attempts to understand the potential meaning/significance of neural variability in control subjects as well.
