| Summary: | In this paper, we are looking at the differences between
autistic and normal children in term of fine motor
movement. Previous findings have shown that there are
differences between autistic children and normal children
when performing a simple motor movement tasks.
Imitating a finger tapping and clinching a hand are two
examples of a simple motor movement tasks. Our study
had adopted one of the video stimuli for clinching the
hand from Brainmarkers. 6 selected autistic children and
6 selected normal children were involved in this study.
The data collection is using EEG device and will be
analyzed using Gaussian mixture model (GMM) and
Multilayer perceptron (MLP) as classifier to discriminate
between autistic and normal children. Experimental result
shows the potential of verifying between autistic and
normal children with accuracy of 92%. The potential of
using these techniques to identify autistic children can
help early detection for the purpose of early intervention.
Moreover, the spectrums of the signals also present big
differences between the two groups. |
