We hope this chapter will inspire further research on automatic #imitation in clinical and neurodiverse populations

[Oliver Genschow @OGenschow]

@BEAM_Manchester and @AutismAtMCR review investigations of automatic imitation in clinical populations. IFor many of the conditions reviewed, there are relatively small numbers of published studies that often include relatively small participant numbers. https://t.co/8lqK5ZzOk9
