Fig. 1. Reactivity indices (RI) of the EEG-registered mu rhythm in typically developing children (A; white columns) and children with ASD (B; red columns) in situations of helping behavior. 1 — IHB, 2 — EHB, 3 — AHB, 4 — AEHB. Mean values and standard errors of means are given. Differences in reactivity indices in children of two groups: * — p < 0.05
