Neurophysiological correlates of holistic face processing in adolescents with and without autism spectrum disorder

ConclusionOverall, our results suggest that  adolescents with ASD were able to utilize holistic processing to perceive a face within the Mooney stimuli. Delays in early processing, marked by the P1, and elongated elevation in gamma activity indicate that the neural systems supporting holistic processing are slightly altered suggesting a les s automatic and less efficient facial processing system.Trial registrationNon-applicable.
