معرفی
Garrett Cardon serves as an Assistant Professor in Communication Disorders at Brigham Young University, with a primary research affiliation in the Neuroscience program within the College of Life Sciences. His work bridges cognitive neuroscience and clinical audiology, focusing on brain-behavior relationships using EEG and MRI/fMRI methodologies to investigate sensory processing in neurodevelopmental conditions and hearing disorders.
Dr. Cardon's research centers on autism spectrum disorder and hearing loss, with specific expertise in atypical sensory processing, cortical plasticity, and empathy dynamics. He examines how sensory difficulties, intolerance of uncertainty, and anxiety interrelate in autistic children while studying cross-modal reorganization in cochlear implant users. His innovative approach combines scientific rigor with artistic representations to facilitate empathy between autistic and neurotypical individuals, addressing the double empathy problem through interdisciplinary frameworks.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2018-2025) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) Neurophysiological correlates of sensory processing in autism, including intolerance of uncertainty and pandemic-related stress impacts; (2) Cortical plasticity mechanisms in hearing loss across pediatric and adult populations, particularly cross-modal reorganization in cochlear implant recipients; and (3) Clinical applications of auditory evoked potentials in auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder. His work consistently integrates electrophysiological measures like ABR and CAEP with behavioral outcomes.
