Abstract

Abstract: Language comprehension deficiency is common in autistic children. Language problems in autism are attributed to abnormalities in the function of Broca's area and underconnectivity between language regions. Neurofeedback has been proved effective in regulating brain activity and has potential use in language comprehension training in autism. In this paper, we described a propose potential training schemes of language comprehension based on real-time fMRI to improve the function of Broca's area and its connections with posterior language regions. It is promising that the training schemes can improve language comprehension in autistic children.
