Supporting data for the thesis "Neurophysiological Correlates of Executive Function and Theory of Mind in Autistic and Neurotypical Children: EEG and Machine Learning" by LEE Hyun Kyung. 

Autism is a lifelong neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by 1) repetitive behaviours and restricted interests, and 2) profound impairments in social interactions and communications (American Psychiatric Association, 2013). Two critical factors affecting the socio-cognitive functioning of autism are executive functions and theory of mind.

The dataset includes behavioural and EEG data for 3 studies of the thesis, which investigated the executive function and theory of mind abilities in school-age autistic children compared to their neurotypical peers.
