  1. Sample size (n), gender (female/male), age (mean, standard deviation) and IQ (verbal, non-verbal) are depicted for ASD, CON and MHC group.
  2. ET eye tracking, EEG electroencephalography.
  3. Descriptive statistics (mean, standard deviation) for questionnaire data is provided. CBCL Child Behavior Checklist, YSR Youth Self-Seport, SRS Social Responsiveness Questionnaire, SCQ Social Communication Questionnaire, SP2 Sensory Profile 2 (auditory subscale). Quantified grip strength during manipulation is shown as standardized values. Number of included trials for pupillometric and EEG data is reported in %. Trial duration (stimulus + ISI duration) is an inverse of central gaze stability in this gaze contingency task and is considered as a data quality measure that is depicted in s.
