Summary

This completed study looked at how people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) pay attention to emotional cues and changes in their environment, compared to people without ASD. Researchers used brain imaging (fMRI, DTI) and EEG to measure brain activity in 120 children and adults. The goal was to better understand the brain differences behind these attention patterns, not to test a treatment.
