Research Focus
Daniel Patrick Kennedy's research lab focuses on understanding autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using complex video stimuli and advanced imaging techniques. They aim to identify unique brain signatures associated with ASD, explore how these relate to individual differences in behavior, and create accessible resources for further research. By examining how the brain responds to rich, narrative-driven videos, they hope to shed light on the cognitive and neural mechanisms underlying ASD.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
