Categorical Timeline Allocation and Alignment for Diagnostic Head Movement…

Atypical head movement pattern characterization is a potentially important cue for identifying children with autism spectrum disorder. In this paper, we implemented a computational framework for extracting the temporal patterns of head movement and utilizing the imbalance of temporal pattern distribution between diagnostic categories (e.g., children with or without autism spectrum disorder) as potential diagnostic cues.

Snapshots of Data Science in Action

Across the University of Miami’s three campuses, faculty and students are immersed in research aimed at providing shape and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing issues. Helping to solve some of the riddles is the use of data science—big batches of information filtered through high-performance computers that aid researchers in their efforts to decipher complex formulas and create predictive applications. Here’s a look at some of the ongoing work: Read more “Snapshots of Data Science in Action” →

An Early Behavioral Index of ASD from Automated Microanalysis…

Symptoms of ASD may alter the coordination infant-parent interactions, disrupting successful communication and social interactions. Previous research indicated that six-month-old infants with later ASD did showed no reduction in smiling following parental unresponsiveness (the still-face effect).

Researchers Go High-Tech to Explore the Social World of…

Remember your earliest friends from preschool? Researchers from the University of Miami want to know how those friendships formed, and they plan to do just that through a $200,000+ grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF Award Abstract #1052736 https://nsf.gov/awardsearch/showAward?AWD_ID=1052736), and a nifty device that will track the movements of children at two UM centers in real time for four years.

Infants Time Their Smiles to Make Their Moms Smile

One of the earliest forms of interaction between mothers and infants is smiling games. While the temporal dynamics of these games have been extensively studied, they are still not well understood. Why do mothers and infants time their smiles the way they do? Read more “Infants Time Their Smiles to Make Their Moms Smile” →
