Features of EEG in children with autism spectrum disorders
The article states the relevance of neurophysiological research in psychiatric practice of children. Objective: to obtain patterns identified on the electroencephalogram in children with autism spectrum disorders. The study was conducted on 20 patients with ASD and 20 healthy children in the age range from 3 to 7 years. A routine EEG was performed on a computerized electroencephalograph. Typical signs were found in children with autism spectrum disorders. For all studied forms of diseases observed lower spectral density values in the alpha frequency band, the level of which depends on the degree of cognitive impairment, and higher spectral density values in the beta frequency band, and for a number of diseases in the theta frequency band, are common.
