Dr. Beker has joined the faculty of the Seaver Autism Center at Mount Sinai as an Assistant Professor in March 2024. She is a member at the Mindich Child Health and Development Institute. Dr. Beker is a cognitive Neuroscientist, focusing on studying physiological mechanisms of neurodevelopmental disorders.
The study in the Beker lab seeks to identify physiological measures of altered synchronization between individuals with autism, and their physical and social environment, using EEG, behavior and measures from the body. Alongside the goal of elucidating the understanding of the latter, Dr. Beker’s long-term goal is to use these noninvasive readouts to advance biomarkers for diagnosis and treatment of autism and other neurodevelopmental disorders.
