Brain and eye tests of facial emotion recognition in autism
Part of Brain & nervous system, Eyes & vision, Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses brain and eye measurements to understand how people recognize facial expressions, including in autism and related conditions. It may help researchers find markers that better explain autism-related symptoms and differences in processing emotions.

This study tests a brain-computer interface training program designed to help people with autism better understand social cues and monitor their own mistakes. The goal is to improve social thinking and self-awareness through non-invasive brain training.
This study uses an eye-tracking tool (it measures where and how your eyes move) to assess how people process social information. It aims to build a standard way to evaluate social processing in children and in comparison groups without these diagnoses.
This study uses an MRI scan to better understand brain differences in people with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and compares them with their relatives and people without ASD. It mainly helps researchers connect brain findings with genetics and background health information.
This study uses MRI to measure how children’s eyes track during tasks, aiming to better understand social thinking in autism. It includes both autistic participants and children with very low autism scores to compare results.
This study tests a “reward system” approach in the brain for adults with autism (and also for adults with food addiction and for healthy volunteers). It may help researchers understand brain and behavior differences and whether this kind of task-based training is safe and useful.
This study uses MRI brain scans (already needed for medical reasons) to better understand how autism affects social thinking. It compares people with autism to healthy volunteers to see differences in brain activity.
