“AutiBelieve”: Detecting and improving self-other distinction based on beliefs within the autism spectrum, with fMRI and tDCS. (AutiBelieve)

Scientists have suggested that the brain of individuals with autism may not apprehend that others have mental states, ultimately resulting in social problems. Our hypothesis argues that they may have difficulties grasping that others think differently from them, rather than with the fact that others think. Our fMRI/neuromodulation-experiments want to inform a pioneering new theory on human social understanding.
