Research Interests: Dr. Vernetti investigates the neural and behavioral foundations of social difficulties in autism, including social attention mechanisms, emotional regulation abnormalities, and language processing deficits. Her work integrates experimental paradigms with neuroimaging and physiological measures to identify biomarkers for early intervention.
Collaborations: She collaborates with prominent researchers like Katarzyna Chawarska and Suzanne Macari, focusing on neurodevelopmental mechanisms and translational research. Her team explores innovative approaches to autism assessment, including live eye-tracking and puppet-based interventions.
Labs & Affiliations: Member of the Chawarska Lab and the Center for Brain & Mind Health. Active in training undergraduate, postgraduate, and doctoral students in autism research methodologies.
