Summary
We are recruiting volunteers for a brain imaging study looking at the differences in sensory sensitivity between autistic and non-autistic people. This will involve completing a series of perception tasks in the MEG scanner in CUBRIC, and filling out some questionnaires (which can be done onsite or in your own time prior to the visit). The whole study should take around 2 hours, with around 1 hour in the MEG scanner, around 30 minutes for preparation, and up to 20 minutes for questionnaires.
