Rex Autistikōn Labs
Independent research into the biomechanics of sensory and interoceptive signaling
We investigate how chronic mechanical restriction in sensor-rich myofascial and visceral interfaces may alter afferent information reaching the central nervous system in neurodevelopmental conditions.
Our Mission
Rex Autistikōn Labs, operating under the Rex Autistikon Research Foundation, Inc., is an independent 501(c)(3) research initiative dedicated to advancing a rigorous, multi-scale understanding of peripheral mechanical contributions to sensory, motor, and regulatory differences observed in autism spectrum disorder and related conditions.
We integrate biotensegrity theory, fascia as a sensory organ, mechanotransduction, viscoelastic signal filtering, and predictive coding to generate testable hypotheses and mechanism-based research directions.
Research Framework
A biotensegrity-informed hypothesis centered on eight sensor-rich myofascial and visceral interfaces.
