Distinct neural synchrony observed in social interactions involving autistic adults

Summary

Nutrition label

79% Informative

Researchers at the University of Montreal studied participants' brain activity during imitation tasks.

People with autism spectrum disorder prefer to take on a following role rather than leading when engaged in social imitation tasks, according to new research.

This preference was accompanied by notable differences in brain activity between individuals with autism and their neurotypical peers during these interactions.

This study provides valuable insights, but it also has some limitations.

The sample size was relatively small, with only 40 participants, and the group of individuals with autism was limited to high-functioning adults.

Another limitation of the study is its reliance on EEG hyperscanning, which has its own set of challenges.
