Perceptual Grouping in Autism Spectrum Disorder
In this study, we explored the neural correlates of Gestalt grouping in individuals with and without ASD. The neuromagnetic activity of individuals with (15) and without (18) ASD was compared during a visual grouping task testing grouping by proximity versus similarity. Individuals without ASD showed stronger evoked responses with earlier peaks in response to both grouping types, indicating an earlier neuronal differentiation between grouping principles in individuals without ASD.
