Project
The role of the temporo-parietal junction in implicit mentalizing in children with autism spectrum disorder
The aim of the current project is to get a better understanding of implicit mentalizing and self-other distinction in childeren with autism spectrum disorder and the role of the temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), by means of fNIRS. Furthermore, we will test in healthy adults whether neurostimulation of the TPJ can improve mentalizing and self-other control.
