This research study is investigating how your brain recognizes emotions by looking at faces—especially the eyes. Researchers want to understand how attention and memory affect this ability, how it may differ in autism and a genetic condition called 22q11.2 deletion, and whether people develop special strategies to help them read emotions better. The study will use brain imaging, eye-tracking technology, and memory tests to explore these questions.
Many people with autism or certain genetic conditions find it harder to recognize emotions in others' faces. By understanding the brain differences and strategies involved, researchers hope to better support people who struggle with emotion recognition and to learn why autism-related symptoms might emerge.

If you join this study, you will visit the research center for two half-day sessions. During these visits, you will complete psychological and memory tests, have brain wave activity recorded using electrodes on your scalp (EEG), and participate in eye-tracking while looking at images of faces. The researchers will use this information to understand how your brain processes emotions and facial expressions.
