Web-Based Toolkit for Multimodal Data Analysis in ASD Research
Objectives: To provide a suite of free, open, and easy-to-use tools to support qualitative analysis of physiological and behavioral data together with time-synchronized video to support ASD research.
Methods: We have developed the Computational Behavioral Science Toolkit (CBST), a free, web-based application for viewing and annotation of multimodal psychophysiological and behavioral data together with time-synchronized video. CBST runs in any modern web browser without the need for installing specialized software, and data loading and interaction is accomplished via a simple drag and drop interface.
Results: Members of our lab and collaborators from both technical and non-technical fields have used CBST to review, present, and perform qualitative analyses on data collected in several on-going multi-site studies. Our demonstration will include opportunities for interacting with the application, present examples of physiology and video data from both assessment (ADOS-2) and intervention studies we are engaged in, and provide information on how other researchers can access and use the toolkit in their own research.
Conclusions: CBST provides a simple, free, web-based platform for viewing, analyzing, and presenting multimodal psychophysiological and behavioral data.
