Project Title Project Title	An MEG investigation of neural biomarkers and language in nonverbal children with autism spectrum disorders
Principal Investigator Principal Investigator	McFadden, Kristina
Description Description	To measure neural markers during auditory and language tasks in nonverbal ASD, verbal ASD and TD children. PI will determine if nonverbal with ASD is related to 1) nonspecific auditory processing deficits and/or 2) language specific processing deficits by using magnetoencephalography (MEG) technique. The study will recruit 15 subjects from each group (a total of 45) and measure 3 potential biomarkers: gamma-band activity, M100 latency and M400 amplitude.
