Department of Psychology, Georgetown University, Washington, DC 20057, USA
Neuroimage 38:184-93. 2007..ASD children performed the EFT at the same level as controls but with reduced cortical involvement, suggesting that disembedded visual processing is accomplished parsimoniously by ASD relative to typically developing brains...
