Registered EEG technologists, naïve to the study's goals, and specifically trained and skilled in working with children within the study's age group and diagnostic range, obtained all EEG data for the study from 24 gold-cup scalp electrodes applied with collodion after measurement: FP1, FP2, F7, F3, FZ, F4, F8, T7, C3, CZ, C4, T8, P7, P3, PZ, P4, P8, O1, OZ, O2, FT9, FT10, TP9, TP10 (see Figure 1). EEG data were gathered in the awake and alert state assuring that a minimum of eight minutes of waking EEG was collected. Data were primarily gathered with Grass™ EEG amplifiers with 1 to 100 Hz band-pass filtering and a 256 Hz sampling rate (Grass Technologies Astro-Med, West Warwick, RI, USA). One other amplifier type was utilized for five patients with ASD (Bio-logic™; Bio-logic Technologies, San Carlos, CA, USA; 250 Hz sampling rate, 1 to 100 Hz band-pass), and one other amplifier type was utilized for 11 control subjects (Neuroscan™; Compumedics Neuroscan, Charlotte, NC, USA; 500 Hz sampling rate, 0.1 to 100 Hz band-pass). Data from these two amplifiers, sampled at other
