| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We examined cardiac vagus nerve activity during sensory tasks involving self-produced and externally produced stimuli in children(ages 5-12 years) with autism (ASD) to investigate whether stimulus predictability affects their emotional state.We recorded electrocardiograms in 37 children with ASD and 37 typically developing(TD) children and quantified the high-frequency component of heart rate variability (HF-HRV).The recordings were performed during the resting state, self/others-tactile tasks,and self/random-auditory tasks. The ASD group had significantly lower HF-HRV than the TD group did under all recording conditions.The HF-HRV responses to self-produced and externally produced stimuli did not significantly differ for either sensory task in either group.The ASD group showed significantly higher HF-HRV during the others-tactile task than during the resting state,whereas the TD group showed significantly lower HF-HRV during the others-tactile task than during the resting state.
