Laura Anderson is currently a Child Neuroscience research fellow. In 2011, she received a B.A. in psychology, magna cum laude, from Duke University, where she completed an honors thesis on language perception in 18-month-old infants. Laura has long been interested in studying autism, especially from a developmental perspective, and she is excited for the opportunity to do so with such a great group of researchers. Currently, she is involved in a project investigating biological motion perception in infants with low and high risk for autism using fNIRS and an fMRI study investigating affective touch in adults with and without autism.
