Researchers at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHoP) are using magnetoencephalography (MEG) to map differences in the timing and connection of signals in the brains of subjects with autism. It appears they have found some delay in the transmission of signals in the brains of those with autism. By identifying differences in brain-wave activity of those with autism researchers hope to use MEG as a biomarker for diagnosing autism and possibly lead to treatment for some of the impediments of autism.
