Under a 1000 ms cap, the adjusted autism minus control switch score interval included zero in 93 ds006780 v1.0.0 children

We tested sensory changes in OpenNeuro ds006780 v1.0.0. We used 55 children with autism and 38 control children. The main score kept all 16,304 eligible stimuli. It gave a 1000 ms score to missing, early, or late first responses. The score used equal weights for preceding interval bins. We adjusted the group difference for age and recorded sex. The autism minus control estimate was 1.6 ms. Its 95 percent participant bootstrap interval was -21.0 to 24.8 ms. All five planned scoring checks also gave intervals that included zero. These results leave meaningful group differences unresolved. The mean switch scores were 61.5 ms for controls and 58.8 ms for children with autism. The invalid response term supplied most of each mean score under this rule. This score measures recorded task performance. It does not identify a neural mechanism or prove group equivalence. The inference assumes independent children and an adequate linear age and sex model. The package preserves source files, a fixed retrieval recipe, code, all bootstrap draws, and independent checks. A fresh download and full analysis repeat reproduced every saved number.
