A spectrogram image based intelligent technique for automatic detection of autism spectrum disorder from EEG.

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a developmental disability characterized by persistent impairments in social interaction, speech and nonverbal communication, and restricted or repetitive behaviors. Currently Electroencephalography (EEG) is the most popular tool to inspect the existence of neurolog...
