Overview
The study will use a non-invasive remote eye-tracking system (Eyelink Portable Duo) to acquire a short series of eye-tracking measures.
Detailed description
The study will use a non-invasive remote eye-tracking system (Eyelink Portable Duo) to acquire a short series (less than 15 mins) of eye-tracking measures (e.g., looking time, pupil diameter, oculomotor dynamics), which may be associated with autism in young children ages 12-48 months. We will recruit children from Riley Hospital for Children at Indiana University Health clinics to determine whether these measures may help determine autism risk.
Interventions
- Diagnostic test Eyelink Portable Duo
Eye-tracking data will be collected using a commercially-available remote eye-tracking system (Eyelink Portable Duo). Eye movements and pupil diameter will be collected while participants view a series of developmentally appropriate pictures and movies. The eye-tracker consists of two cameras; one that monitors eye movements and a second scene camera that monitors head movements, which permits eye tracking to take place without any equipment touching the child. Children will be asked to sit in h
Primary outcome measures
- Agreement between eye-tracking biomarker score and diagnosis [Time frame: Day 1]
