Quantifying behavior and neurophysiology in autism with digital phenotyping and AI techniques

Please join us for the next presentation in our 2025-2026 Duke Center for Autism Seminar Series. Our speaker will be Ilan Dinstein, PhD, Professor of Psychology at Ben Gurion University in Israel and Founding Director of the Azrieli National Centre for Autism and Neurodevelopment Research (ANCAN), which builds national partnerships across academic, healthcare, industry, and community stakeholders. In this presentation, Dr. Dinstein will present several examples of his team's research, including quantification of motor stereotypies and facial expressions in video recordings of autistic children as well as studying sleep disturbances in autistic adolescents at home with wearable and nearable devices. These studies are part of a larger vision to develop a comprehensive AI-enabled digital phenotyping toolbox for objective, reliable, direct, and sensitive measurement of clinically relevant behaviors in autism.
