This is an observational study — meaning researchers watch and measure rather than test a new treatment. Children with autism will have their brain activity measured using a technology called magnetoencephalography (MEG), which records electrical signals from the brain. Researchers will compare these brain activity patterns to those of typically developing children to identify features that could help diagnose autism earlier and more accurately.
Currently, diagnosing autism relies mainly on behavioral observations and questionnaires, which can be subjective and sometimes missed. This study hopes to find objective brain-based markers that could lead to faster, more reliable diagnosis and better understanding of how autism affects brain function.

You would visit the research center for brain imaging sessions using magnetoencephalography (MEG), a safe, non-invasive scan similar to an EEG. During the scan, you would sit still while wearing a special cap that records your brain's electrical activity — first while resting, then while doing simple tasks on a computer. The entire process is painless and typically takes a few hours. Your brain activity patterns would then be analyzed and compared to those of children without autism.
