Citizen Science: Playing Games with Your Eyes

Please note you are looking at an event that has already happened.

Event Details

Video games tend to instigate enthusiasm among kids and teens, and angst in their parents.  Ample evidence supports the notion that some video games are beneficial for cognitive training.  Here I will describe a unique game-based method my colleagues and I created to improve attention skills and how the journey to develop and test these games led to an internship program for young adults on the autism spectrum.

Join Leanne Chukoskie, Ph.D.,   Assistant Research Scientist, Qualcomm Institute,  UC San Diego for this exciting Wet Lab Science Lecture!
