First seen May 19, 2026 · Last updated May 23, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This study looked at how children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) pay attention to social threats, like people acting scary, compared to non-social threats, like objects. Researchers used eye-tracking and brain imaging to measure where the children looked and which parts of their brains were active. The goal was to better understand joint attention in ASD, not to test a treatment.
