Driving simulation for typical and neurotypical populations

Posted by on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 in Uncategorized.

In this project, we are developing driving simulation scenarios that can be used to help train new drivers with Autism. These scenarios create a range of settings where consideration of other drivers beliefs and actions are increasingly necessary. We are testing the degree to which these scenarios are associated with particular difficulty for a range of new drivers and we are also testing the degree to which eye movements and physiological measures can serve as signals of driving challenges in these different populations.
