Non-Helium MEG Brain Imaging for Autism
Part of Mental health clinical trials.
This study uses a special type of brain scan called magnetoencephalography (MEG) that doesn't need helium to work. They want to see if this scan can help understand brain activity in boys with autism. This research might lead to easier and cheaper ways to study the brain.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a boy between 6 and 12 years old.
- You must have been diagnosed with autism using the DSM-5 criteria.
- Your IQ must be above 70.
- You must be able to stay still and cooperate during the brain scan.
- You cannot have any metal in your body that could interfere with the scan.
- You cannot be taking antipsychotic medications or sedatives.

This study uses a special type of brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) that doesn't need helium gas to see brain activity in children with brain tumors. The goal is to see if this scan can help doctors plan surgery or treatment better.
This study uses a special brain scan (magnetoencephalography, or MEG) to look at brain activity in children with conditions like seizures, brain tumors, autism, and others. It may help doctors learn more about how these conditions affect the brain.
This trial tests an imaging method that measures brain signals without using X-rays. It may help researchers understand brain activity in healthy adults, newborns, premature babies, and pregnant people by testing whether the scan can be done reliably and safely.
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 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 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.
