Happy to update: our Autism Research paper published today: "Poor synchronization yet adequate tempo-keeping in adults with autism", Kasten, Jacoby & Ahissar: ASDs' poor synchronization to external beat stems from reduced online error-correction and not higher internal noise .

A recent paper by @neuro_gal @AhissarLab @norijacoby and others (nature.com/articles/s41467-0…) found that synchronization of finger-tapping to a metronome is less precise in autistic participants, and that these differences seemed to be due to reduced correction of timing errors.

We call the task specific, training-induced switch, which allows bypassing capacity limitations of working memory - perceptualization:

Here is our (T Malinovitch, P Albouy, R Zatorre and me) reply in the coming paper in Cerebral Cortex:
Training allows switching from limited-capacity manipulations to large-capacity perceptual processing

Can Working memory training have a general impact on our cognitive capacity?
With adaptive training - most people substantially improve in tasks which seem to require online manipulations that exceed human abilities.
What's happening?

It's International Women’s Day!💪
We talked with 3 of ELSC’S outstanding women-at different stages of their career-about their research. We asked them what piece of advice would have helped them at the start of their career, and here's what came up: elsc.huji.ac.il/elsc-news/in…
