Dr. Jones received his doctorate in biomedical sciences from Yale University. From 2000 to 2003, he worked at the Yale Child Study Center with Ami Klin, Ph.D. During his time at Yale, Dr. Jones used eye-tracking technology to map visual salience young children children with autism, as they view movies of social interaction.
In a lab setting, Jones uses concealed cameras that zoom in on children's eyes and monitor the movement of their pupils to determine exactly what they are viewing on the TV screen. In 2006, Dr. Jones was awarded the American Psychological Foundation Elizabeth Munsterberg Koppitz Award for his work with eye-tracking technology.
Currently Dr. Jones is adapting this technology to be used in pediatricians' offices throughout Georgia, with the hopes of screen children earlier than previously thought possible.
