Excited to be presenting my poster later today at #INSAR2025! It dives into the theory of the double empathy problem, with a focus on how well people with and without autism can understand each other’s thoughts when they share (or don’t share) the same neurotype. Come say hi!

During the Inclusive Autism Research Day, people with autism shared with researchers what needs to change in research! The day started with presentations and continued with engaging round table discussions. Immensely proud of what we organized! @MauraNevejans @explora_gent

Last week I was invited to present on 'Autism and the Predictive Brain', alongside Prof Floris De Lange, at the Science Cafe Nijmegen. Thanks to Floris, the organizers, the amazing audience that made for a lively discussion afterwards, the live musicians... I had a great time!

Mareike Westfal recently developed and validated an online version of the imitation-inhibition task. This allows even researcher with few programming experiences to assess imitative behavior online. Together with @JanCrusius @CraccoEmiel link.springer.com/epdf/10.3758/s…
