First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 07, 2026 · Updated 31 times

Summary

This study used a non-invasive brain stimulation technique called rTMS to investigate how a specific brain region (the superior temporal sulcus) is involved in social perception. Researchers measured how people with autism and healthy controls looked at social scenes and recognized voices before and after stimulation. The goal was to better understand the brain mechanisms behind social difficulties in autism, not to provide a treatment.
