Developmental differences across the lifespan in the use of perceptual information to guide action-based decisions
Stafford, James; Rodger, Matthew; Martin, Luis Gomez-Jordana; Whyatt, Caroline; Craig, Cathy (2021-02-08)Perceptual information about unfolding events is important for guiding decisions about when and how to move in real-world action situations. As an exemplary case, road-crossing is a perceptual-motor task where age has been ... -
Neonatal Diagnostics: Toward Dynamic Growth Charts of Neuromotor Control
Torres, Elizabeth B.; Mistry, Sejal; Smith, Beth; Brincker, Maria; Whyatt, Caroline (2016-11-23)The current rise of neurodevelopmental disorders poses a critical need to detect risk early in order to rapidly intervene.

Stochastic signatures of involuntary head micro-movements can be used to classify females of ABIDE into different subtypes of neurodevelopmental disorders.
Torres, Elizabeth B.; Mistry, Sejal; Caballero, Carla; Whyatt, Caroline (2017-06-07)Background: The approximate 5:1 male to female ratio in clinical detection of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) prevents research from characterizing the female phenotype. Current open access repositories [such as those in ... -
Wayfinding and path integration deficits detected using a virtual reality mobile app in patients with traumatic brain injury
Seton, Caroline; Coutrot, Antoine; Hornberger, Michael; Spiers, Hugo J.; Knight, Rebecca; Whyatt, Caroline (2023-03-09)The ability to navigate is supported by a wide network of brain areas which are particularly vulnerable to disruption brain injury, including traumatic brain injury (TBI). Wayfinding and the ability to orient back to the ... -
