Brain flexibility study in autistic and non-autistic adults
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to learn how the brain reacts to changing situations in autistic and non-autistic adults. It could help researchers understand differences in brain flexibility and improve future support.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be 18 years or older and affiliated with a social security scheme (like health insurance).
- You must be willing to sign a consent form after understanding the study.
- If you have autism, you need a formal diagnosis from a trained professional. If you do not have autism, you must score below 32 on an autism screening test.
- You must have normal or corrected vision (glasses or contacts are okay).
- You cannot have metal implants, pacemakers, cochlear implants, or other devices that are unsafe for an MRI scan.
- You cannot be pregnant, breastfeeding, or have a serious health condition like cancer or heart disease.

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.
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 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 trial tests whether mild brain stimulation (TMS) over the temporoparietal junction can improve a social thinking skill called 'mentalizing' in adults with autism. You would have MRI scans, cognitive tasks, and several TMS sessions.
This study tests whether transcranial magnetic stimulation (a non-surgical brain stimulation) can affect brain activity and learning in adults, including some autistic adults. You may also do EEG and eye-tracking tasks during the study.
This trial looks at how a non-invasive brain stimulation technique may help improve social skills in people with autism. It uses a mild magnetic pulse to target brain circuits involved in social interaction.
