We are proud to share that our postdoctoral fellow, Dr. Candida Barreto, represented the Neuroergonomics & Neuroengineering Lab at Drexel University’s School of Biomedical Engineering, Science and Health Systems during the “fNIRS in Action: Real-World Methods for Autism Researchers” workshop held in Boston, MA.
This highly interactive event brought together autism researchers, neuroscientists, and clinicians to explore the use of functional Near-Infrared Spectroscopy (fNIRS) for studying brain function in naturalistic and clinical settings. Participants engaged in real-world demonstrations, data-collection sessions, and discussions on best practices for using fNIRS in neurodevelopmental research.
Dr. Barreto presented the lab’s recent work on wearable neuroimaging approaches for understanding brain activity in everyday contexts, highlighting how neuroergonomics can bridge laboratory and real-world environments to advance autism research.
Congratulations to Dr. Barreto for representing our lab and contributing to the growing dialogue on real-world neuroimaging applications for autism research.
