Brain scans probe why eye contact and touch are hard for people with autism

NCT ID NCT05829161

Summary

This study aims to better understand how sensory experiences, like sensitivity to sound or touch, are connected to social challenges in autism, such as avoiding eye contact. Researchers will observe 480 people with and without autism across different ages, using questionnaires, eye-tracking, and brain scans (fMRI/EEG). The goal is to gather knowledge to help inform future support strategies, not to test a treatment.
