Abstract
Facial Emotion Expression Recognition is widely agreed to be one aspect of social function that is impaired within the usual characterisation of Autism Spectrum Disorder. The ”Reading the Mind in the Eyes” test is used to this day in the diagnostic process. However, it disregards temporal data, has potential test format effects, and only observes performance rather than underlying behavioral triggers. With the increasing prevalence of VR and EEG tools, including this temporal data and investigating brain activity during testing may result in novel methods to investigate impairments in social function. This paper outlines a study protocol to be used to investigate the application of said tools to this purpose.
