Camera Movement Impacts on Mu-Wave Activity During Action Observation in Adults With Autism Spectrum Disorders Without Intellectual Disabilities.

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to investigate differences in mu-wave modulation in individuals diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) without intellectual disabilities compared to a group of neurotypical controls (NT). Thirty autistic individuals and 30 NT underwent an EEG recording while watching short videos depicting goal-oriented action filmed from a fixed position, zooming in on the scene, and approaching the scene by means of a steadycam. Then, participants underwent a rating task to evaluate their subjective viewing experience. We found that steadycam videos elicited enhanced event-related desynchronization (ERD), suggestive of enhanced neural activity, in the NT group, and a reduced ERD in the autistic group, compared to the other filming conditions. Autistic participants also sh
