Autism Spectrum Disorder

56
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Computational Psychiatry

Background:

  • Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) presents significant diagnostic challenges due to its variability and lack of definitive biomarkers.
  • Electroencephalography (EEG) signals, reflecting brain activity, offer a promising avenue for neurodevelopmental disorder detection.
  • Current diagnostic methods for ASD lack objective indicators, necessitating advanced analytical approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an effective feature extraction method from EEG signals for discriminating between individuals with ASD and neurotypical controls.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of various connectivity features in identifying ASD patterns within EEG data.
  • To establish a robust classification framework for ASD detection using advanced machine learning techniques.

Main Methods:

  • Extraction of six prominent connectivity features from EEG signals: Cross Correlation (XCOR), Phase Locking Value (PLV), Pearson's Correlation Coefficient (PCC), Mutual Information (MI), Normalized Mutual Information (NMI), and Transfer Entropy (TE).
  • Construction of Connectivity Feature Maps (CFMs) to represent spatial information from extracted features.
  • Classification of ASD and control subjects using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) applied to CFMs.

Main Results:

  • Connectivity Feature Maps (CFMs) demonstrated superior performance in distinguishing ASD from control subjects due to their inherent spatial information.
  • The Mutual Information (MI) feature exhibited the highest accuracy in categorizing ASD and control participants.
  • Performance improvements were observed with increased sample size and data segmentation, particularly for the MI feature.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed method utilizing CFMs and CNNs provides a promising approach for objective ASD detection from EEG data.
  • Mutual Information (MI) emerges as a key feature for enhancing the accuracy of ASD classification.
  • Further validation across diverse datasets and larger sample sizes is recommended to solidify the clinical applicability of this EEG-based diagnostic tool.
