Abstract：Objective To review the characteristics of interbrain synchrony between individuals with autism spectrum disorder(ASD)and healthy individuals during interactions.
Methods Researches on interbrain synchrony during interactions in individuals with ASD were retrieved from databases such as PubMed,Web of Science,Scopus and CNKI in November,2023.Researches were screened and the rele-vant data were extracted.The quality of the methodology was evaluated using critical appraisal tool for analytic cross sectional study.
Results Five researches were returned,publicated mainly from 2020 to 2023,including 130 individuals with ASD.Inter-brain synchrony was lower during the interaction task in the individuals with ASD compared with the healthy,mainly involving the prefrontal and temporo-parietal joint regions;as well as the interbrain synchrony of theta,al-pha and beta bands of electroencephalography.There was difference in interbrain synchrony between genders in individuals with ASD;furthermore,abnormal interbrain synchrony in individuals with ASD associated with so-cial impairment.
Conclusion Interbrain synchrony deficits may be a potential neural mechanism for social impairment in individuals with ASD,and the abnormalities mainly happen in the brain areas related with mirror nervous system and theories of mind network.
