Increased Accuracy of Emotion Recognition in Individuals with Autism-Like Traits after Five Days of Magnetic Stimulations

Figure 1

Schematic of the primary experiment. Each subject received real or sham iTBS for five consecutive days (red lightning symbol represents iTBS). The stimulus target, the rpSTS, was defined as a sphere with a center radius of 6 mm based on the Montreal Neurological Institute (MNI) coordinates [55, -53, 17]. Eye tracking and multiple MRI data were acquired before and after the 5-day stimulation. In addition, neuropsychology tests and MRI data were acquired at baseline and 2-3 months after the end of the experiment, respectively.
