Objectives: Among the most important problems of autistic children are the behavioral disorders due to sensory processing deficiency, which are typically reflected in behaviors such as impulsivity, attention and concentration disorders, undesirable emotional reactions, sensory seeking in the form of stereotype behaviors, self-injury and self-stimulating. The present study aimed at exploring the...

In general, sensory processing as well as selective attention impairments are common amongst people with schizophrenia. It is important to note that experts have in the recent past been concerned with seeking any brain functions significant differences between individuals engaged in auditory information processing (both controlled and automatic) and individuals with schizophrenia. In this case,...

OBJECTIVE This study describes the sensory processing abilities of children ages 3-10 who sustained a moderate or severe traumatic brain injury (TBI). METHOD We used a prospective, descriptive study design with convenience sampling of 20 children who were admitted to a pediatric neurosurgical unit. Caregivers provided information regarding their child's sensory processing abilities using the ...

A major activity of the brain of most vertebrates during waking behavior is the processing of sensory information, preponderantly visual. This processing is not fully compatible with the brain's spontaneous oscillatory activity that maintains (refreshes) infrequently used circuits that store inherited and experiential information (memories). Great reduction in sensory input and processing durin...
