Author Description

Neural Engineering for Autism Spectrum Disorder, Volume Two: Diagnosis and Clinical Analysis presents the latest advances in neural engineering and biomedical engineering as applied to the clinical diagnosis and treatment of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Advances in the role of neuroimaging, magnetic resonance spectroscopy, MRI, fMRI, DTI, video analysis of sensory-motor and social behaviors, and suitable data analytics useful for clinical diagnosis and research applications for Autism Spectrum Disorder are covered, including relevant case studies. The application of brain signal evaluation, EEG analytics, fuzzy model and temporal fractal analysis of rest state BOLD signals and brain signals are also presented. A clinical guide for general practitioners is provided along with a variety of assessment techniques such as magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The book is presented in two volumes, including Volume One: Imaging and Signal Analysis Techniques comprised of two Parts: Autism and Medical Imaging, and Autism and Signal Analysis. Volume Two: Diagnosis and Treatment includes Autism and Clinical Analysis: Diagnosis, and Autism and Clinical Analysis: Treatment. Presents applications of Neural Engineering techniques for diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) Includes in-depth technical coverage of assessment techniques, such as the functional and structural networks underlying visuospatial vs. linguistic reasoning in autism Covers treatment techniques for Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), including social skills intervention, behavioral treatment, evidence-based treatments, and technical tools such as Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy for ASD Written by engineers for engineers, computer scientists, researchers and clinicians who need to understand the technology and applications of Neural Engineering for the detection and diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD)
