Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) present with core deficits in social interaction and communication. The goal of the current study is to decipher the neural mechanisms underlying impaired speech and language processing in autism. Using a linear neural encoding framework, we analyzed the temporal response function (TRF) to continuous audiovisual speech stimulation at different levels of the speech processing hierarchy, ranging from acoustic to phonetic, to understand the stages at which information processing breaks down in individuals with ASD. We recorded high-density electroph

Speech comprehension involves an active neural process mapping sounds into meaning, with lexical predictions supporting comprehension based on the preceding context. Methods like the Temporal Response Function (TRF) have proven effective in probing the neural processing of sounds properties such as the acoustic envelope based on EEG/MEG. However, examining how the human brain processes words during continuous speech listening remains challenging.This study presents an assessment of encoding TRF methodologies for the measurement of lexical processing, quantifying and explaining their limitation
