Our aimTo go from investigating simple social stimuli processing, to social interaction processing in ASD.
It takes two to tangoSocial interaction processing in ASD
Two limitations of previous research: 1) Lack of ecological valid stimuli2) No social interaction stimuli
We don’t come across mere body parts in daily life, and an agent is mostly seen in a contextual scene
More than one agent is needed for social interaction
BackgroundPeople with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) have difficulties with social interaction. To investigate these difficulties, previous neuroscientific studies mainly used simple stimuli such as a single agent or body parts like eyes, faces or hands, that are isolated from any contextual background information.

§ Sample: Adults || ASD group vs. neurotypical group
§ Event-related potential (ERP) & steady state visually evoked potential (SSVEP) studies
Our approach
@OomenDanna
Multiple social stimuli instead of oneCrowds of faces vs scrambled faces
Interaction + background informationStatic interaction vs no-interaction images
Social movement instead of static imagesIn sync movements (acting together) vs out of sync
Processing interaction movementFluent vs random movement
