It takes two to tango: Third-person and second-person perspective neuroscientific approaches to social interaction in autism spectrum disorder

Deficits in social interaction are core to ASD, but strikingly little neurocognitive research has focused on social interactions in ASD. Here, we will study brain activity (with special focus on TPJ) in adults with and without ASD when watching others socially interact by means of fMRI, and when participating in real-time social interaction by means of fNIRS hyperscanning.
