There is an image that autism is common in the IT industry.
In fact, one of the respected engineers of the company I worked for was the same.
I have a feeling that there are people in the IT industry who are like that, but the percentage is higher than usual (just as there are many left-handers in art universities).
And
What kind of heads do they have?
I'm curious (I don't mean disgustingly)
I found an article that uses a brain machine to read brain waves and finds out.
I will try to explain
What is autism spectrum disorder (ASD)?
Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may refer to:
Communication with people and
It is one of the developmental disorders characterized by a strong commitment to one's own behavior.
Depending on the symptoms, it may interfere with daily life.
You may also need full-time support at welfare or medical facilities.
People with autism spectrum disorder think what others think,
Because they tend to have difficulty understanding what they are feeling
It is said that they are not good at building interpersonal relationships.
According to a study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it is estimated that 1 in 59 children are affected.
The characteristic symptoms of autism spectrum disorder usually appear between the ages of 2~3 years.
Related developmental delays may appear even earlier
In many cases, diagnosis can be made as early as 18 months of age.
Early detection of ASD according to past studies,
Early intervention has shown that a person's life is more likely to lead to positive outcomes.
Brain waves in autism
References describe EEG parameters that have a significant impact on the detection of autism spectrum disorder.
It is optimized using genetic algorithms (GA) to improve detection accuracy.
20 children aged 6 to 12 years with autism spectrum disorder and 20 children without disabilities
Results of statistical comparison of EEG data using t-test
Children with autism spectrum disorder are affected by the left hemisphere of the brain (especially the C3 channel area).
A low potential level was observed in relation to each other.
In addition, theta waves in the C3 and F3 channels in children with autism spectrum disorder are weaker than in healthy subjects.
There was also a tendency for gamma waves to be strong.
By the way
Theta Wave
Brain waves emitted during → light sleep
Gamma waves are
Brain waves emitted when → are in a state of irritability
Summary
The brain is strange, isn't it?
And the gamma wave that came out this time is
How to combine objects, backgrounds, abstract or emotional features
Solving the problem of connecting is a question of whether to have one experience
Because it has been suggested to be related to
It may lead to the development of cognitive science
