Diagnosis of Autism Spectrum Disorder through Complex Network Communications

Modular associations are structures in complex networks that are defined based on the communication density between the network elements. The difference in these structures in a complex network of human brain signals (EEG) can be used as a factor in the diagnosis of diseases. In this study, with the focus on modular associations, attempts to achieve the differences between a complex two-group of network of Normal Case (NC) and Autistic of Spectrum Disorder (ASD). Eventually, using real EEG signals, the tested groups, with no use of the pre-processing signaling, have an accuracy of 88.37% in detecting Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).
