Outline of Final Research Achievements

To establish a method of objective diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), we tested EEG source localization. We succeeded in drawing the EEG source localization on each Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI); however, there were no specific findings in ASD participants in this study. We found some issues to improv this new method, for example using high dense electrodes and changing the way of scanning.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

自閉症スペクトラム障がいの診断に客観的評価方法はない。脳波の信号源推定により特異的な所見を見出すことで自閉症スペクトラム障がいの客観的な評価方法として用いることができ、診断基準の一つとして確立できる可能性がある。現時点で特異的な所見は見いだせていないが、今後の研究により明らかにすることができれば、自閉症スペクトラム障がいの診断に寄与できる可能性がある。
