Abstract

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder. Its core symptoms are social communication and communication disorder, narrow interest, stereotyped behavior and cognitive impairment. The ASD people also shows atypical characteristics in non-social information processing. These defects are serious to weaken their social adaptability. Driving is a complex and simple independent adaptive skill, involving not only multiple task operations at the same time, but also attention, automatic motor execution, memory and navigation of cognitive functions. At present, the researches focus more and more on the driving behavior for individuals with autism in order to explore the feasibility of intervention treatment. The aim of this paper is to use a virtual driving test to investigate electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics of the children with autism during complex environments. Since it is easy for EEG records to contain significant motion artifacts and electrode artifacts, an acquisition method with the wired and wireless transmission is used to collect EEG. This paper applies the power spectrum method to analyse the recorded EEG. It is found that the recorded EEG can reflect the brain dynamical activity of subjects during driving. The results indicate that this acquisition method can be used to record the EEG during driving for the brain analysis of autism. This study provides insights for the further research on the mechanism of autism and its diagnosis, evaluation and intervention.
