Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
In all studies proposed, 60 ASD and 60 SAD patients are being compared with 120 carefully matched, healthy controls. In the dyadic interaction study we will have an additional 120 healthy subjects. The sample size is based on facial mimicry research9, and discussed with expert colleagues. Participants fill out questionnaires measuring empathy, anxiety and autistic traits. Subjects wear eye tracking glasses to measure gaze and pupil size, and electrodes to measure facial muscle movements. Psychophysiological measures, e.g., heart-rate and facial temperature give insight in arousal and blushing.	—
