Brain’s electrical noise may explain communication struggles in autistic youths
Researchers identified a biological clue in the brain’s electrical activity that may explain communication differences in autistic children.
The study analyzed brain signals from 306 participants aged 7 to 18 using high-density EEG caps with 128 sensors.
Autistic youths showed altered aperiodic brain signals indicating increased neural noise linked to less efficient speech processing.
Youths with noisier brain activity tended to score lower on measures of everyday verbal communication.
The finding is not yet a diagnostic tool but could lead to biological markers for evaluating autism interventions.
