Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is characterized by a tingling sensation
with a feeling of relaxation and a state of flow. We explore the neural underpinnings and …

Sensory reactivity is a diagnostic criterion for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), and has
been associated with poorer functional outcomes, behavioral difficulties, and autism severity …

People with aphantasia have impoverished visual imagery so struggle to form mental
pictures in the mind's eye. By testing people with and without aphantasia, we investigate the …

Preliminary studies in children and adults with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD) report both hypo-responsiveness and hyper-responsiveness to sensory stimuli, as …

For people with aphantasia, visual imagery is absent or markedly impaired. Here, we
investigated the relationship between aphantasia and two other neurodevelopmental …

Excessive neural variability of sensory responses is a hallmark of atypical sensory
processing in autistic individuals with cascading effects on other core autism symptoms but …

Sensory hypersensitivity is frequently encountered in autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
Gamma‐aminobutyric acid (GABA) has been hypothesized to play a role in tactile …

For some people, simple sensory stimuli (eg, noises, patterns) may reliably evoke intense
and aversive reactions. This is common in certain clinical groups (eg, autism) and varies …

Synesthesia is a rare nonpathological phenomenon where stimulation of one sense
automatically provokes a secondary perception in another. Hypothesized to result from …

Atypical sensory processing is a core symptom of autism spectrum disorders (ASD). We
aimed at better characterizing visual sensitivity and responsivity in ASD at the self‐reported …
