The brain wave study used noninvasive technology called magnetoencephalography, MEG for short. It measures magnetic fields generated by electrical currents in brain nerve cells, and records brain activity in real time.
Unique brain waves patterns, spotted for the first time in autistic children, may help explain why they have so much trouble communicating. That delay is only a fraction of a second, but when it's for every sound, the lag time can cascade into a major obstacle in speaking and understanding people, the researchers said.
Roberts, the study author, said the findings fit with a leading theory that suggests autism is "a disorder of connectivity in the brain."

Sounds an interesting study.
Hi Casdok,
I've just touched base, been away for 10 days. Yes there are so many studies out there, not just in the field of Autism. I tend to keep a very open mind however this one caught my eye as it seems to tape into a report I received from a neurologist 10 years ago, referring to connections and stimulation.
