The Neural Oscillatory Basis of Perspective-Taking in Autistic and Non-Autistic Adolescents Using Magnetoencephalography.

ABSTRACT: Taking another's perspective is a high-level mental skill underlying many aspects of social cognition. Perspective-taking is usually an embodied egocentric process whereby people mentally rotate themselves away from their physical location into the other's orientation. This is accompanied by increased theta-band (3-7 Hz) brain oscillations within a widespread fronto-parietal cortical network including the temporoparietal junction. Individuals with autism spectrum conditions (ASC) have been reported to experience challenges with high-level perspective-taking, particularly when adopting embodied strategies. To investigate the potential neurophysiological basis of these autism-related individual differences, we used magnetoencephalography in combination with a well-replicated perspective-taki
