Can visual art be a way for people to communicate with and connect to other people? Can it be a way for autistic and non-autistic people to understand the emotions of each other better? And would the brains of the artist and the viewer be able to connect through artworks? This FWF funded project will try to answer these questions through a series of studies where autistic and non-autistic people express and perceive emotions through abstract drawings, in comparison to facial expressions and language.
