Individuals with autism spectrum disorder often have difficulty acquiring relevant auditory and visual information in daily environments, despite not being diagnosed as hearing impaired or having low vision. Resent psychophysical and neurophysiological studies have shown that autistic individuals have highly specific individual differences at various levels of information processing, including feature extraction, automatic grouping and top-down modulation in auditory and visual scene analysis. Comparison of the characteristics of scene analysis between auditory and visual modalities reveals some essential commonalities, which could provide clues about the underlying neural mechanisms. Further progress in this line of research may suggest effective methods for diagnosing and supporting autistic individuals.This article is part of the themed issue 'Auditory and visual scene analysis'.
患有自闭症谱系障碍的个体在日常环境中获取相关听觉和视觉信息时往往存在困难，尽管他们未被诊断为听力受损或视力低下。最近的心理物理学和神经生理学研究表明，自闭症个体在信息处理的各个层面，包括听觉和视觉场景分析中的特征提取、自动分组和自上而下的调制，都存在高度特定的个体差异。对听觉和视觉模态之间场景分析特征的比较揭示了一些基本的共性，这可能为潜在的神经机制提供线索。这一研究方向的进一步进展可能会为自闭症个体的诊断和支持提供有效的方法。本文是主题为“听觉和视觉场景分析”的特刊的一部分。
