AbstractAutism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by impairment in sensory modulation. These sensory modulation deficits would ultimately lead them to difficulties in adaptive behavior and intellectual functioning. The purpose of this study was to observe changes in the nervous system with responses to auditory/visual and only audio stimuli in children with autism and typically developing (TD) through electroencephalography (EEG). In this study, 20 children with ASD and 20 children with TD were considered to investigate the difference in the neural dynamics. The neural dynamics could be understood by non-linear analysis of the EEG signal. In this research to reveal the underlying nonlinear EEG dynamics, recurrence quantification analysis (RQA) is applied. RQA measures were analyzed using various parameter changes in RQA computations. In this research, the cosine distance metric was considered due to its capability of information retrieval and the other distance metrics parameters are compared for identifying the best biomarker. Each computational combination of the RQA measure and the responding channel was analyzed and discussed. To classify ASD and TD, the resulting features from RQA were fed to the designed BiLSTM (bi-long short-term memory) network. The classification accuracy was tested channel-wise for each combination. T3 and T5 channels with neighborhood selection as FAN (fixed amount of nearest neighbors) and distance metric as cosine is considered as the best-suited combination to discriminate between ASD and TD with the classification accuracy of 91.86%, respectively.
