Affective face processing analysis in autism using electroencephalogram

Past research in the area of psychology has indicated the inability of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) patients for interpreting other people’s emotion. This impairment is due to their lack of social motivation and eye contact during communication, causing insufficient information to the brain for...
