Brief summary (registry, in English)

The goal of this study is to learn if a new brain training method, called combined electroencephalography (EEG) and functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) neurofeedback, can improve thinking, emotions, and social functioning in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD). It will also learn if this training is practical and safe to use with children in Hong Kong. The main questions this study aims to answer are: * Does combined EEG-fNIRS neurofeedback improve attention, emotion regulation, and social skills in children with ASD? * Is this type of neurofeedback training feasible and well-tolerated by children? Researchers will compare the new combined EEG-fNIRS training with single EEG or fNIRS training to see if it provides additional benefits. Participants will: .Receive sessions of EEG-fNIRS neurofeedback training. .Complete assessments of thinking skills, emotional regulation, and social functioning before and after training.
