Using EEG hyperscanning, researchers observed reduced inter-brain synchrony during hand movement imitation between mixed pairs, with autistic individuals more likely to follow than lead.<\/p>\n<p>However, people with autism were equally capable of mimicking movements.

They were instructed to make meaningless gestures and were left free to imitate their partner\u2019s movements or not. Their behavior was videotaped.<\/p>\n<p>The research team also measured the pairs\u2019 inter-brain synchrony pairs using EEG hyperscanning, a technique that can simultaneously record\u00a0brain activity\u00a0in multiple subjects.<\/p>\n<p>Several years ago, Dumas demonstrated that human brains tend to spontaneously synchronize when engaged in\u00a0social interaction, i.e. their electrical rhythms oscillate at the same frequency.<\/p>\n<p>This new study found that the synchronization between a person with autism and a neurotypical person is less close than between two neurotypical people. It also found that people with autism were more likely to be followers than leaders in imitating hand movements.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe found that the autistic subjects were just as capable of reproducing their partner\u2019s behavior and synchronizing their movements with them,\u201d said Dumas. \u201cBut they differed in \u2018turn-taking\u2019: they were less likely to initiate a\u00a0movement.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It\u2019s not you, it\u2019s us<\/h2>\n<p>Dumas believes the difference in turn-taking but not in ability to imitate suggests that autism is \u201ca relational condition rather than a disorder specific to the individual.\u201d This interpersonal perspective shifts the focus away from individual (dis)abilities.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImpaired social interaction is bidirectional,\u201d Dumas said. \u201cBut we never say that a neurotypical person has a deficit in\u00a0social cognition\u00a0when they have a hard time understanding a person with autism. When an interaction is more difficult, the responsibility lies with everyone involved.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By adopting an interpersonal perspective on autism that takes diversity into account, Dumas hopes to pave the way for a more preventative and inclusive approach to mental health.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">About this autism and neuroscience research news<\/h2>\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffffe8\"><strong>Author: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.umontreal.ca\/english\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">B\u00e9atrice St-Cyr-Leroux<\/a><br \/><strong>Source: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.umontreal.ca\/english\/index.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">University of Montreal<\/a><br \/><strong>Contact:<\/strong> B\u00e9atrice St-Cyr-Leroux \u2013 University of Montreal<br \/><strong>Image: <\/strong>The image is credited to Neuroscience News<\/p>\n<p class=\"has-background\" style=\"background-color:#ffffe8\"><strong>Original Research: <\/strong>Open access.<br \/>\u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/17470919.2024.2379917\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Distinct social behavior and inter-brain connectivity in Dyads with autistic individuals<\/a>\u201d by Guillaume Dumas et al. <em>Social Neuroscience<\/em><\/p>\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-text-color has-pale-cyan-blue-color has-alpha-channel-opacity has-pale-cyan-blue-background-color has-background\"\/>\n<p><strong>Abstract<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Distinct social behavior and inter-brain connectivity in Dyads with autistic individuals<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is defined by distinctive socio-cognitive behaviors that deviate from typical patterns. Notably, social imitation skills appear to be particularly impacted, manifesting early on in development.<\/p>\n<p>This paper compared the behavior and inter-brain dynamics of dyads made up of two typically developing (TD) participants with mixed dyads made up of ASD and TD participants during social imitation tasks.<\/p>\n<p>By combining kinematics and EEG-hyperscanning, we show that individuals with ASD exhibited a preference for the follower rather than the lead role in imitating scenarios.<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, the study revealed inter-brain synchrony differences, with low-alpha inter-brain synchrony differentiating control and mixed dyads.<\/p>\n<p>The study\u2019s findings suggest the importance of studying interpersonal phenomena in dynamic and ecological settings and using hyperscanning methods to capture inter-brain dynamics during actual social interactions.<\/p>\n<p> <!-- Form created by Optin Forms plugin by WPKube: create beautiful optin forms with ease! --> <!-- https:\/\/wpkube.com\/ --><!--optinforms-form5-container--> <!-- \/ Optin Forms --> <\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/pagead2.googlesyndication.com\/pagead\/js\/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     crossorigin=\"anonymous\"><\/script>\r\n<ins class=\"adsbygoogle\"\r\n     style=\"display:block\"\r\n     data-ad-format=\"fluid\"\r\n     data-ad-layout-key=\"-fb+5w+4e-db+86\"\r\n     data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-3711241968723425\"\r\n     data-ad-slot=\"7910942971\"><\/ins>\r\n<script>\r\n     (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});\r\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><div data-type=\"_mgwidget\" data-widget-id=\"1660802\">\r\n<\/div>\r\n<script>(function(w,q){w[q]=w[q]||[];w[q].push([\"_mgc.load\"])})(window,\"_mgq\");\r\n<\/script>\r\n<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/neurosciencenews.com\/asd-social-brain-synch-27746\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summary: A new study shows that brain synchronization between a neurotypical person and someone with autism is weaker compared to two neurotypical individuals interacting.
