Yale University's Child Study Center, a division of Yale Medical School,
has chosen New York's School of Visual Arts' Animation Department to create
an animated film for use in autism research studies. The animation will
test the brain systems involved in social understanding, allowing
investigators to test specific hypotheses about autism. The animated
experiments will portray human interaction with geometric shapes. Reeves
Lehmann, Chair of the School's Film Video and Animation Department, is the
executive producer and advisor; Aaron Geller, a 1998 SVA alumnus and staff
member of HBO NYC, is producer and director.
